SBS reported on the 2nd that it violated the regulations during the recruitment process for Seoul's director-level open positions. There are two major issues raised through the press. (Related article: ▶ [Exclusive] "I'm acquainted with the candidate..." Controversial review as it is)

1. The evaluation committee member said, "I know the applicant, I will be omitted from the evaluation."

It was early last year that the hiring of public servants in charge of public affairs, which became a major problem in Seoul, began. According to Article 14 of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Personnel Regulations at the time, the test committee members (evaluation committee members) who know the applicants should be excluded from the evaluation for fairness in recruitment. The so-called'avoidance application' is called Seoul City, and upon receiving a request for evasion from the examiner, the relevant committee member must be dismissed by the examiner. (These regulations were revised in June this year.)

However, at the time, the Seoul Metropolitan Government personnel department said, "Is it only necessary to evaluate the applicants?" Processing'. However, the last person selected was absurdly. Although one member received 0 points, Mr. A was selected with the average score of 5 members excluding this member, and the remaining 4 applicants with the average score of 6 members including this member.


2. One internal committee member (Seoul City official) suddenly changes… The newly introduced committee member "I know the applicant"

was the person who Seoul announced and approved as one of the two internal committee members at the time of the recruitment plan. However, unlike the original plan, B was replaced with B instead of A. Controversy arose at this point. Mr. A worked as the head of the facility under Seoul before applying, and Mr. B was the head of the department in charge of the city that manages the facility. It can be seen as a relationship between the applicant and the business. In this case, Mr. B has to leave the evaluation, but the situation is reversed.

In response, Mr. B explained, "I have seen it once or twice, but I cannot say it is known."

Seoul Metropolitan City, the unusual'slow explanation'… HR

reporter "The City Audit Committee concluded that there is no problem" The reporter repeatedly asked the Seoul city government for clarification and objection. However, despite repeated demands, the city of Seoul did not make a clear explanation. It was an unexpected reaction considering that the city of Seoul has responded faster than other municipalities and organizations. I called the staff in charge of the job several times, but the call was barely connected, and the reply was "I don't know." Then, the personnel manager who became a difficult call repeatedly said, "The matter that the audit committee concluded is no problem." (This person in charge was not the chief person in charge of human resources.)

City Audit Committee saying "No problem"… In fact, the investigator in charge

contacted the City Audit Committee to answer the question. I went. I tried to ask why he judged there was no problem. But there was no answer.

However, as a result of the interview, it was confirmed that there was a point in the audit committee that "there was a problem in the recruitment process." It was investigator B, who had directly investigated the matter under the Audit Committee. The investigator who conducted the investigation in the field reported that "there was a problem", but the audit committee concluded that "there was no problem". Investigator B's report included a number of issues, including two that SBS raised.


City Audit Committee, Audit Committee

that did not give a detailed explanation to the reporters, "Go out of the department," to the investigator of the'problem' . However, on the first day of the day before the report, the Audit Committee instructs investigator B to move to another department. 'Go out of the audit committee'.

According to the telegram plan of employees at level 6 or lower in the second half of 2020, the transfer of the desired institution for the transferees will begin on July 3. Therefore, the Audit Committee is requesting the Personnel Division B to be transferred to the HR department at this regular greeting, so please enter the desired institution according to the telegram plan for employees at level 6 or lower.' <Medium of emails received by investigator B>

Interviewer B, who met with the reporter, said, "I have no intention of moving to another department." Investigator B said, "I did not explain why I should leave the audit committee."

In response to this, an official from the Human Resources Department responded, "It is true that we are reviewing the telegraph about the investigator at the request of the Audit Committee." An official from the Human Resources Department said, "The Audit Committee revealed the reason for requesting the telegram to the investigator, but it is difficult to confirm."

According to the Human Resources Division, each department communicates opinions about the desired departments that its employees want, and the departments are assigned based on the opinions. However, a personnel affairs official explained, "It is very rare for a departmental employee to oppose the move, but the department is requesting relocation."
