The Corruption Investigation Agency (Director Oh Dong-woon) is set to recruit three investigators in the second half of 2026 to fill vacancies and enhance its investigative capabilities. The hiring will include two level 6 positions and one level 7 position.
According to the agency on September 7, the recruitment will be conducted through a public competitive process. Notably, this year marks the first introduction of 'group interviews' in the interview process, aimed at rigorously assessing practical investigative skills. The selected investigators will perform key duties as judicial police officers, including investigating crimes related to high-ranking public officials.
Eligibility requirements include holding a lawyer's license, being a public servant with experience in investigative or research duties, or having practical experience in research work. For public servants, candidates for the level 6 position must have served at a level 6 (or equivalent) or higher, while those for the level 7 position must have served at a level 7 (or equivalent) or higher in investigative or research roles.
General research work experience requires at least seven years for level 6 and five years for level 7. Individuals with a lawyer's license can apply for both levels. The term for investigators is six years, with the possibility of reappointment, and the mandatory retirement age is 60.
The job announcement will be posted from September 7 to 18 on the agency's website, the government job portal, and the Korean Bar Association bulletin board. Applications will be accepted online from September 11 to 18 through the application site 'Uway Apply' (uwayapply.com), followed by document screening and interviews to select the final candidates.
