100 AI, chip, biotech firms to recruit young talent at Seoul Job Fair

A major talent recruitment event for young job seekers is set to take place in Seoul next week, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The 2026 Seoul Job Fair will feature around 100 high-tech companies from the fields of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, semiconductors, and robotics. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on November 9 at Dongdaemun Design Plaza, a central location in the city.

Organized in collaboration with the Korea Industrial Technology Association and the Korea Student Aid Foundation, the fair will see 60 companies, including pharmaceutical firm Huons and surgical robot maker Meere Company, actively recruiting job candidates. Another 40 companies will participate in a youth AI talent festival held concurrently with the main event.

Job seekers attending the fair will have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one interviews and consultations with company recruiters on-site. A QR code-based system will facilitate the process, enabling applicants to check their position in line and explore other companies' job openings while awaiting their interview. AI-based services will also recommend suitable job openings based on applicants' preferred roles and working conditions.

Moreover, an AI "culture fit" test will assist job seekers in identifying workplaces that align with their personalities and values. Visitors to the fair will have the chance to explore various opportunities and make informed decisions about their future careers.
