National Assembly Passes “Blind Hiring”
Bill for Recruitment Reform

Recently, the National Assembly of Korea passed legislative amendments to the Fair Recruitment Procedure Act (“FRPA”) as part of the reform efforts to address the country’s highly intrusive/corruption-prone recruitment culture. The latest amendment – dubbed the “blind hiring” bill – expands the FRPA to prohibit any type of recruitment irregularities (e.g., improper solicitation, coercion, pressure) and, more importantly, bars employers from asking jobseekers to provide any information unrelated to the position and the applicant’s merit. The amended FRPA will go into effect starting July 17, 2019. 
Summary of the Legislative Amendment
The “blind hiring” bill  prohibits employers with thirty (30) or more employees from (i) requesting job applicants' personal information unrelated to the position, and (ii) engaging in any recruitment irregularities, including any lobbying, coercion or undue pressure.
 Key ProvisionsPenalty
Prohibition against Recruitment IrregularitiesNo person may engage in any of the following acts that may infringe upon the fairness of recruitment process:
