The Outstanding Employment Company Certification Program identifies companies that have increased employment and supports their growth. Companies are selected in two categories: general and youth.
In September, the city evaluated companies based on employment growth, financial soundness, employment stability, and working conditions through document reviews and on-site inspections. It selected seven companies in each category.
The general category includes SeAH Electronics, InfoGrab, Jium Knowledge Service, Plainbit, UX Factory, Hoseong Engineering Architects Office, and AutoL. The youth category includes NDCS, Taeyoung Cosmetic, Hama Lab, Thirdworks, Achim Soft, Alpha Chips, and IRT Korea.
The selected companies will receive additional points when applying to various city business support programs, including support for participating in domestic and international exhibitions, sales channel development and marketing, and product development and commercialization. The certification is valid for two years, from November 1, 2026, to October 31, 2028.
