The recruitment to Korea is still held for indefinite period, due to serious injuries of three candidates during pandemonium at head office, Islamabad in the first week of current month.
Talking to Business Recorder here on Thursday, sources at Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) said that applicants had been injured while registering their names for pre-recruitment test at Islamabad, which was directly conducted by Korean.
Despite to handle it sensibly, directives has been issued to stop process at all regional offices, which created negative impact on Korean delegation besides suffering candidates by OEC's unfair treatment. Answering to a question, they replied that due to lack of management and systematic approach grievances had raised between candidates and staff members, however, high-ups did not take stern action to resolve the inconvenience but concealed the facts by postponing the process.
They said that as per an agreement Korea had bound to recruit skilled and unskilled man-power from Pakistan and expressed fears that due to current incident and political uncertainties in Pakistan, delegation would hesitate to renew agreement, again.
It must be noted that Korean delegation was due in Pakistan at the end of July 2007, but postponed its plan due to its 30 aid workers were abducted and one was killed in Afghanistan during that period.
Sources said that abduction and then killing of one Korean aid worker created panic in Korea, therefore, most of the delegations scheduled for this region, also avoided to visit Pakistan and added that they had been convinced to accomplish its plan of hiring workers from Pakistan after a long dialogues. However, delay now caused by lack of proper arrangements and management of the process, they disclosed.
The government has seemed more interested to send its local man-power abroad instead facilitating such foreign industry delegation. "Government should facilitate the foreign delegates so that country's image could be built up besides placing sufficient local workforce in foreign countries," they suggested.
It may be mentioned that OEC had arranged an interview test for those who had completed one-month language programme and had got command on Korean language, reading and writing and enhanced their skills in related industrial sectors on October 4, 2007 and Korean delegation had accepted OEC proposal for conducting interviews.
Immense number of trained and OEC certified workers were coming to register their names in pre-inducting language test at Karachi, Peshawar, Lahore and Islamabad, where training programme had been conducted, they concluded.
