- Hiring new employees.
- Recruitment process.
- Job postings (채용 공고).
- Adopting a new system.
The Korean word 채용 (chaeyong) primarily refers to the act of hiring, recruiting, or employing someone for a job or position within an organization. It is a formal noun widely used in business, corporate environments, human resources, and daily news. Understanding this word is absolutely crucial for anyone looking to work in South Korea or comprehend Korean corporate culture, as it forms the basis of the employment lifecycle.
- Hanja Breakdown
- 採 (캐다 채 - to pluck, gather, pick) + 用 (쓸 용 - to use). Literally, it means to pick someone and use their skills.
When a company needs new workers, they initiate a 채용 process. This is not just a simple transaction; in Korea, it often involves a highly structured, multi-step process including document screening, aptitude tests, and multiple rounds of interviews. The word encompasses the entire recruitment drive.
우리 회사는 내년에 대규모 채용을 진행할 예정입니다.
Beyond human resources, 채용 has a secondary, slightly more advanced meaning: the adoption or acceptance of a new method, idea, system, or technology. For instance, if a school decides to adopt a new teaching methodology, or a company integrates a new software system into their workflow, this act of 'selecting and using' is also referred to as 채용.
- Secondary Meaning
- Adoption of ideas or systems (e.g., 새로운 기술의 채용 - adoption of new technology).
그 위원회는 내 제안을 채용하기로 결정했다.
To fully grasp the weight of this word, one must look at the Korean job market. The term '공채' (gongchae), short for 공개 채용 (open recruitment), is a massive cultural phenomenon where large conglomerates hire thousands of graduates simultaneously. This contrasts with '수시 채용' (susi chaeyong), which is hiring on an as-needed basis.
In everyday conversation, job seekers (취준생) constantly talk about 채용 announcements (채용 공고). You will see this word plastered across job portals, university bulletin boards, and corporate websites. It is the gateway word to professional life in Korea.

- 채용 비리 (Hiring corruption/scandal) - A serious issue often discussed in news regarding unfair hiring practices.
It is important to note that 채용 is usually an action taken by the employer, not the employee. The employee experiences '취업' (getting a job), while the company executes '채용' (hiring). Mixing these up is a common learner error.

In summary, 채용 is a powerful, formal noun that encapsulates the process of selecting and utilizing human resources or new methodologies. Its frequent appearance in news, business, and daily life makes it an indispensable vocabulary word for intermediate and advanced Korean learners aiming for fluency in professional contexts.
정부는 청년 채용을 늘리기 위해 지원금을 확대했다.
Using 채용 correctly requires understanding its grammatical behavior as a noun that can be transformed into verbs and adjectives. The most common way to use it is by attaching the verb '하다' (to do) to make it an active verb: 채용하다 (to hire). Conversely, attaching '되다' (to become) makes it passive: 채용되다 (to be hired).
- Active Verb Form
- 채용하다 (chaeyonghada) - To hire, to recruit, to adopt.
우리 부서는 외국어에 능통한 직원을 채용하려고 합니다.
When you want to express that someone was successfully hired, you use the passive form. This is very common when talking about one's own success or someone else's job acquisition in a formal way.
- Passive Verb Form
- 채용되다 (chaeyongdoeda) - To be hired, to be recruited.
그는 치열한 경쟁을 뚫고 대기업에 채용되었다.
As a standalone noun, 채용 is frequently combined with other nouns to create compound words. These compound words are the backbone of HR terminology in Korea. For example, '채용 공고' (job posting), '채용 박람회' (job fair), and '채용 절차' (hiring process).
인터넷에서 채용 공고를 보고 지원서를 냈습니다.
You will also frequently see 채용 used with verbs like '진행하다' (to progress/conduct) or '마감하다' (to close/deadline). '채용을 진행하다' means a company is currently in the process of hiring. '채용이 마감되다' means the application period has ended.
- Action Verbs with Noun
- 채용을 진행하다 (conduct hiring), 채용을 마감하다 (close hiring).
현재 마케팅팀 신입사원 채용을 진행 중입니다.
When discussing the secondary meaning (adopting a method or idea), the grammar remains the same, but the object of the sentence changes from a person to a concept. For example, '새로운 디자인을 채용하다' (to adopt a new design).
이 자동차는 최신 안전 시스템을 채용하여 사고 위험을 줄였습니다.
Mastering these patterns—채용하다, 채용되다, and compound nouns like 채용 공고—will allow you to navigate Korean job search websites, understand business news, and communicate effectively in professional environments. Always pay attention to whether the subject is the company (active) or the applicant (passive).
The word 채용 is ubiquitous in South Korea, deeply embedded in the daily lives of young adults, professionals, and the corporate sector. You will encounter this word in a variety of specific contexts, ranging from digital platforms to physical locations and media broadcasts. Understanding where and how it appears helps contextualize its importance.
- 1. Job Portals and Websites
- Platforms like Saramin (사람인), JobKorea (잡코리아), and LinkedIn are filled with this word. It is the core functional term on these sites.
잡코리아에서 IT 개발자 채용 정보를 검색해 보세요.
When you visit a university campus in Korea, especially during the spring and fall semesters, you will see banners and posters advertising '채용 설명회' (recruiting information sessions) or '채용 박람회' (job fairs). These events are critical for graduating seniors seeking employment at major corporations like Samsung, Hyundai, or LG.
- 2. University Campuses
- Career centers and campus bulletin boards are prime locations for encountering hiring-related vocabulary.
오늘 학생회관에서 삼성전자 채용 설명회가 열립니다.
In the realm of news and media, 채용 is a frequent topic in economic and social reporting. News anchors discuss '채용 시장' (the job market), '채용 규모' (hiring volume), and '채용 트렌드' (hiring trends). During economic downturns, headlines often lament the shrinking of the hiring market.
- 3. News and Media
- Economic sections of newspapers and TV news broadcasts frequently analyze employment statistics using this term.
올해 주요 대기업들의 채용 규모가 작년보다 줄어들 전망입니다.
Within a company, the Human Resources department (인사팀) uses this word constantly. It is the foundation of their daily operations. They discuss '채용 계획' (hiring plans), '채용 예산' (hiring budget), and '채용 기준' (hiring criteria). If you work in Korea, you will hear this in meetings regarding team expansion.
인사팀에 새로운 디자이너 채용을 요청했습니다.
Finally, unfortunately, you may also hear it in the context of political or corporate scandals. '채용 비리' refers to nepotism or corruption in the hiring process, a highly sensitive and heavily penalized issue in South Korean society, which values fairness in examinations and employment.
최근 공공기관의 채용 비리 사건이 큰 논란이 되고 있습니다.
Because Korean has several words related to employment, jobs, and hiring, learners frequently confuse 채용 with other similar-sounding or conceptually related terms. The most common mistake is confusing the perspective of the action: who is doing the hiring versus who is getting the job. Let's break down these common pitfalls to ensure accurate usage.
- Mistake 1: 채용 (Hiring) vs. 취업 (Getting a job)
- Learners often say '저는 삼성에 채용했어요' meaning 'I got a job at Samsung'. This is incorrect. It means 'I hired Samsung'.
❌ 저는 어제 은행에 채용했어요.
✅ 저는 어제 은행에 취업했어요. (Or 은행에 채용되었어요)
Another frequent confusion is between 채용 and 고용 (employment). While they are often translated similarly in English, their nuances in Korean are distinct. '채용' focuses on the *process* of recruiting and selecting someone (the hiring event). '고용' focuses on the *state* or *relationship* of maintaining someone as an employee (the employment status).
- Mistake 2: 채용 (Recruitment process) vs. 고용 (Employment status)
- Use 채용 for job ads and interviews. Use 고용 for contracts, job security, and employment rates.
❌ 정부는 새로운 채용 보험 제도를 발표했다.
✅ 정부는 새로운 고용 보험 제도를 발표했다.
Learners also mix up 채용 with 모집 (recruiting/gathering). While a company can '모집' (gather/recruit) applicants, '채용' specifically implies the final act of hiring them for a job. You can '모집' volunteers or club members, but you '채용' employees.
- Mistake 3: 채용 (Hiring employees) vs. 모집 (Gathering people)
- 모집 is broader and can be used for volunteers, students, or participants. 채용 is strictly for formal employment or adopting systems.
❌ 우리 동아리에서 신입 회원을 채용합니다.
✅ 우리 동아리에서 신입 회원을 모집합니다.
Lastly, regarding the secondary meaning (adopting an idea), learners sometimes confuse 채용 with 적용 (application). If you accept a new theory, you '채용' (adopt) it. If you put that theory into practice on a specific problem, you '적용' (apply) it.
새로운 보안 시스템을 채용하여 회사 네트워크에 적용했습니다.
By paying attention to the active/passive voice, the distinction between the hiring event and employment status, and the specific contexts of business versus general gathering, you can avoid these common mistakes and sound much more natural and professional in Korean.
To enrich your business Korean vocabulary, it is essential to understand the synonyms and related terms of 채용. While they share the general theme of bringing people into an organization, each word carries a specific nuance, tone, or context. Let's explore the most common similar words and how they differ from our main word.
- 1. 고용 (Goyong) - Employment
- Focuses on the legal and economic relationship between employer and employee. It emphasizes the state of being employed and paying wages.
이 공장은 지역 주민 500명을 고용하고 있습니다.
While 채용 is the act of picking someone, 고용 is the ongoing contract. You will see '고용' in macroeconomic terms like '고용률' (employment rate) or '고용 불안' (employment instability).
- 2. 모집 (Mojip) - Recruitment / Gathering
- The act of gathering applicants or people for a specific purpose. It is the step right before hiring.
다음 주까지 아르바이트생을 모집합니다.
Another interesting term is 선발 (Seonbal), which means 'selection'. This word heavily emphasizes the competitive aspect of picking the best candidates from a pool of applicants. It is often used in sports, scholarships, and elite corporate hiring.
- 3. 선발 (Seonbal) - Selection
- Focuses on choosing the most qualified individuals from a group through competition or evaluation.
수백 명의 지원자 중에서 단 3명만 선발되었습니다.
For high-level or specialized positions, you might hear the loanword 스카우트 (Scout) or the native term 발탁 (Baltak). '발탁' means to single someone out for promotion or a special role, often unexpectedly or based on exceptional merit rather than standard seniority.
그는 뛰어난 실력을 인정받아 임원으로 발탁되었다.
Understanding these subtle differences allows you to express yourself more precisely. Use 채용 for the standard corporate hiring process, 고용 for the economic state of employment, 모집 for gathering a pool of people, and 선발 when emphasizing the competitive selection process.

よくある質問
10 問No, that is a very common mistake. '저는 채용했어요' means 'I hired someone'. If you want to say you got a job, you should say '저는 취업했어요' or '저는 채용되었어요' (I was hired). The action of '채용' is done by the employer.
'채용' refers to the specific event or process of hiring someone (interviews, job postings). '고용' refers to the ongoing state of employment or the legal relationship between employer and employee. You look at a '채용 공고' (job posting), but you sign a '고용 계약서' (employment contract).
'공채' is short for '공개 채용', which means 'open recruitment'. It refers to the traditional Korean corporate practice where large companies hire a massive batch of new graduates all at once, usually twice a year (spring and fall), through standardized exams and interviews.
Yes, it has a secondary meaning of 'adopting' or 'accepting' a new method, system, or idea. For example, '새로운 기술을 채용하다' means 'to adopt a new technology'. However, it is not used for buying physical objects.
It can be, but it sounds very formal. For part-time jobs (아르바이트), people often use simpler words like '구함' (looking for) or '모집' (recruiting). '채용' is more commonly associated with full-time, professional, or corporate positions.
'수시 채용' means 'rolling recruitment' or 'on-demand hiring'. Unlike '공채' (mass open recruitment), '수시 채용' happens whenever a specific department needs to fill a specific role. It is becoming the dominant hiring method in modern Korean companies.
The most common and natural way to say 'job posting' or 'job advertisement' is '채용 공고' (chaeyong gonggo). You will see this phrase everywhere on Korean job search websites.
'채용 비리' translates to 'hiring corruption' or 'recruitment scandal'. It refers to illegal or unethical practices in the hiring process, such as nepotism, bribery, or altering test scores to favor specific candidates. It is a major social issue in Korea.
'블라인드 채용' (blind recruitment) is a hiring method where the applicant's photo, age, gender, hometown, and educational background are hidden from the interviewers. The goal is to evaluate candidates solely on their skills and job competency to prevent discrimination.
'채용' itself is a noun. To use it as a verb, you must add '하다' to make '채용하다' (to hire/active) or '되다' to make '채용되다' (to be hired/passive).
