Coffeechat Launches 'Kogonggo,' a Specialized Beauty Recruitment Platform

Comprehensive recruitment solution company Coffeechat has officially launched 'CoGongGo,' a talent acquisition platform specialized for the beauty industry, embarking on securing K-beauty talent. CoGongGo, an abbreviation for 'Cosmetic Job Postings Collection,' closely connects rapidly growing beauty industry companies with specialized professionals, offering differentiated features that reflect the market's unique characteristics. Coffeechat confirmed a high demand for a specialized recruitment platform from beauty industry professionals while operating its existing 'VoltX Fashion & Beauty Club' events. Consequently, based on its expertise in the recruitment sector, Coffeechat planned CoGongGo to support K-beauty companies in successfully securing talent. For corporate clients, CoGongGo supports a brand-specific job posting management system, reflecting the industry characteristic where one company operates multiple brands. Through granular features such as product category, sales region and distribution channel, and brand-specific SNS settings, companies can effectively manage job postings that align with each brand's concept and identity. Furthermore, it provides a talent pool registration feature that allows companies to secure potential candidates in advance, even if they don't have immediate intentions to change jobs, offering practical assistance in establishing long-term workforce plans. For job seekers, a major strength is the customized job posting search function that leverages beauty industry expertise. It offers not only searches by product category, such as skincare and color cosmetics, but also filtering by the brand's sales country, allowing job seekers to quickly and easily find jobs that best match their career and capabilities. For example, a job seeker with Japanese language proficiency and experience in the basic cosmetics field can filter and view only job postings from basic cosmetics brands that have entered the Japanese market, maximizing search efficiency. Park Sang-woo, CEO of Coffeechat, stated, "CoGongGo will serve as a platform for talent with beauty industry expertise and global capabilities, and a bridge connecting them with rapidly growing companies." He added, "Through this, we will support the sustained popularity of K-beauty." He also predicted that Coffeechat would secure new growth drivers through the beauty industry business, where talent demand remains constant despite the overall rigidity of the recruitment market. Meanwhile, Coffeechat is diversifying its business by supporting talent acquisition for various companies, from startups to large corporations, through 'VoltX Network' for direct sourcing recruitment support and 'VoltX Agent' for headhunting solutions, centered around 'VoltX'. It is also actively creating venues for industry insight sharing and exchange through offline networking events like 'Monthly Coffeechat' and 'GLC (Global Leadership Community)'.
