Steffen,

This is fantastic! You really put a lot of hard work into researching and centralizing all of this, and I think it will be a great resource for the group. I never realized there were so many KR job web sites in English that were for non-teaching jobs.

Here's a few additional web sites that might interest everyone. For myself, I have not found them that useful, but others having diff career objectives might find the jobs/info more relevant to their needs:

1. ContactKorea: http://www.contactkorea.go.kr/en/index.do
2. Seoul Global Center: http://global.seoul.go.kr/
3. Korea For Home: http://www.korea4home.com/job/position_list.asp (mostly teaching jobs)
4. WorknPlay: http://www.worknplay.co.kr/ (primarily teaching jobs)

5. Exec recruiters - if people are looking for exec search firms handling more senior positions, there are a couple very good ones who are KBC members (e.g., Halcyon and You & Company), but you can also find others -- serving various levels of professionals and industries -- through the Korea-related LinkedIn groups. Note: If your companies are looking to source for good candidates, working with a company such as Halcyon, Y&C, or other search firms might be an option to consider.

Attached is a list of new LinkedIn groups I received by e-mail this morning. Have not had a chance to evaluate them yet, so I cannot comment on them. Groups not listed under a specific geographic category should be presumed to be US-focused. Be careful when using groups that boast "60,000 users" as I have found in one case previously that it was linked to a for-profit company that turned around and was spamming me, even after I'd quit LinkedIn (still have not been able to get rid of them after two weeks).

Thanks, I have added the links to the list.

If you have more links for recruiters, please let me know.

My apologies... I just realized that I had misstated the name of You & Partners above (not You & Company), one of our KBC members who handles executive search in Korea.

Oh, very helpful! Thanks, Steffen (and Dom!). I'll eventually get this list formalized into the topic pages on the site.

Steffen,

since you have mentioned elsewhere that you're working for a Danish Asset Manager. You might find FN Hub Korea (http://www.fnhubkorea.kr/fhk_en/job/job3.jsp) useful as well.

Another option is to go through webs of financial companies located in Korea and contact hiring managers directly. http://www.ksda.or.kr/english/member/members.cfm

And obviously efinancialcareers.com, there're sometimes interesting positions located in Seoul.

It's always easier to get hired to do exactly what you've been doing.

Thanks, I have added fnhub to the list, and I will definitely check out the list of financial companies.

I set up a site last year, targeting companies who are looking to hire "foreigners" (I don't like that term, but it's prevalent) in South Korea. There are a plethora of sites advertising teaching jobs, but positions in other industries are generally scattered around and difficult to find.

Going through my list of websites I check I found some that are not on here

http://www.peoplenjob.com/home/ Which has some job advertisements in English, though not most.
http://www.expatengineer.net/jobs.nsf/areajobs?OpenForm&a=SOUTH... which doesn't have a lot in Korea, but still comes out with new ones from time to time
http://www.overseasjobs.com/do/search?SW=&city_state=&Actio... which doesn't have the best overview, but certainly has a lot of postings.

The rest is either already on here or is entirely in Korean
