JobKorea opens KLiK job-listing website for foreign nationals

Short for "Kickstart Life in Korea," the KLiK website allows foreign job seekers to search for positions based on several criteria, such as visa type and company location.

JobKorea announced Monday that it opened KLiK, a job-listing service for foreign nationals.

Short for "Kickstart Life in Korea," the KLiK website allows foreign job seekers to filter positions by the company's office location, eligible visa type and required foreign language skills. It also auto-translates listings into 28 different languages, such as English, French and Chinese.

Each job post has information about Korean proficiency requirements, dividing it into five levels: beginner, basic, intermediate, advanced and proficient.

Users can upload their resumes to the website, directly applying to positions through KLiK.

The job-finding service operates similar services such as JobKorea and Albamon, and allows employers that have accounts on the two services to also upload jobs on KLiK using existing login credentials.

"KLiK is a service we developed after listening to many foreigners and sharing their job searching struggles, aiming to find a way to easily share career-related information," said Chris Heo, head of JobKorea's future business division. "We plan to introduce additional features such as work visa consultations and candidate searching services, and use AI to match job seekers to positions at our hiring companies."
