KB Kookmin Bank said on Tuesday it will recruit entry-level bankers for the first half of 2026 to respond to changes in the financial environment and select talent that will create new value. The hiring will cover about 110 people.

The recruitment will be conducted in 5 areas: UB (corporate client finance and customer asset management), UB (regional talent), discharged officers, ESG shared growth, and veterans. It will use tailored hiring methods suited to the characteristics of each area.

Applications will be accepted through March 25. The selection process will proceed in this order: document screening, written test, first interview and second interview. Final successful candidates are to be announced in June.

In the UB (Universal Banker) track, the bank will select candidates who can grow into wealth management specialists (PB) and corporate finance specialists (RM). In the UB (regional talent) track, it will recruit with the aim of fostering regional finance specialists. It will also recruit discharged officers to select candidates with organisational management experience and leadership.

To broaden diversity in recruitment, it will also run hiring in the ESG shared growth and veterans tracks. The ESG shared growth track targets people with disabilities, basic livelihood security recipients, North Korean defectors, and children of multicultural families, among others. The veterans track targets national merit beneficiaries or their family members.
