Problem

Korea's Big 3 shipbuilders (HD Hyundai, Hanwha Ocean, Samsung Heavy Industries) and their subcontractors must recruit thousands of interns and new hires annually, but internship agreements with regional universities (Mokpo Maritime University, Geoje College, etc.) are managed manually between individual contacts. Intern competency evaluation, placement optimization, and post-internship hiring conversion tracking are unstructured, resulting in top talent attrition rates exceeding 30% and an average of 4 hours of administrative work per match.

Solution

Provides a Platform that automatically matches shipyard job-specific staffing needs with students' skills and preferred roles. Tracks mentor evaluations, attendance rates, and technical test scores in real time during internship periods, and auto-generates hiring conversion recommendation Reports upon internship completion. Reduces HR team administrative burden by 80% for shipyards, while universities gain real-time employment statistics.

Target: HR teams at shipbuilders and subcontractors with 100B+ KRW (~$75M+) revenue; career services offices at maritime/shipbuilding regional universities
Revenue Model: B2B SaaS monthly flat rate — 390,000 KRW (~$292)/site for shipyards, free for universities (two-sided market). 500,000 KRW (~$375) per successful hiring conversion as a performance fee
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
