What the selection criteria are
The youth-friendly strong small enterprise list has been compiled every year since 2016 to reduce the mismatch in youth employment. Results are announced in three categories: pay, work-life balance and employment stability. To be listed under employment stability, at least 90 per cent of a company's staff must be on permanent contracts. Young workers must make up at least 40 per cent of regular employees, and the youth retention rate must be above the average for the industry. Apostille Korea, founded in 2015, was listed this year in the employment stability category.
The document service the company provides
Apostille Korea handles civil documents used in Korea and abroad. The work starts with obtaining the document and continues with translation into the language of the receiving country and notarisation. It then covers the apostille or consular legalisation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, where the receiving country requires it, embassy legalisation. The finished documents are shipped overseas. Users can file a single request instead of visiting each authority in turn.
