Step 1 Kangwon National University faculty hiring scandal
→
Step 2 University faculty Recruitment transparency improvement

Problem

National university faculty hiring processes repeatedly experience procedural violations including unmet consent requirements, reviewer conflicts of interest, and missing documentation. Issues like the Kangwon National University case only surface after media coverage, and full audits of past hiring cases take an average of 5 days per case and 3-6 months overall.

Solution

Digitizes the faculty hiring process from job posting to final appointment using checklist-based tracking, flagging potential violations against the Educational Public Officials Act and university regulations in real time. Provides automated conflict-of-interest detection for reviewers (co-authored papers, same alma mater, etc.), automatic quorum verification for consent votes, and automated audit trail preservation.

Target: National university HR and academic affairs offices, private university audit departments (institutions with 100+ faculty members)
Revenue Model: SaaS Annual Subscription at 2,400,000 KRW/year (~$1,800/year) (unlimited hiring cases), automated audit Report generation module add-on at 600,000 KRW/year (~$450/year)
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
