According to AI TIMES, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy plans to secure as many as 50 practical specialists to handle mega-projects, the AI transformation of manufacturing, and investment projects in the U.S. on the ground as of September 7. Separate from regular hiring, the ministry intends to quickly reinforce needed staff by running private-sector expert recruitment, open calls across all ministries, and transfers from other ministries in parallel. It is focusing on expanding recruitment of experienced private-sector hires and fixed-term professional positions to strengthen on-site response capabilities in areas such as legal affairs, trade, AI, and public relations. It also plans to reactivate open recruitment for director-level posts, which had been suspended, to directly select practical personnel from among civil servants inside and outside the ministry who will be dedicated to core tasks. By widening open calls across all ministries and expanding transfers, the ministry also aims to absorb outside experience and build a more detailed task-specific dedicated system. The article's core point is that, as the fronts of industry, trade, and economic security have expanded, the ministry has concluded that its existing hiring methods are insufficient and has begun shifting its overall personnel management toward an on-site focus.

Perspective

This move is not simply a matter of adding headcount; it shows that the way core tasks are carried out is shifting from general administrative staffing to task-specific expertise. In particular, the plan to actively tap outside experience and interministerial mobility reads as a signal that policymakers want both faster execution and sharper field awareness. Ultimately, the more important change is not the number of people itself, but the fact that as industrial and trade issues grow, government organizations that handle them will have no choice but to become more flexible and competitive.
