Fast Five, one of South Korea's leading co-working space brands, is conducting its first open recruitment drive.

The company announced Monday it is hiring for 13 positions — covering both entry-level and experienced roles — across four divisions: sales, space and interior design and architecture, branch operations, and IT and development. Applications are open through Sunday on the Fast Five recruitment page.

To support the hiring push, Fast Five is holding both in-person and online information sessions. The in-person session takes place Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Catch Cafe's Sinchon branch in two parts: the first features Chief Executive Kim Dae-il presenting the company's growth story and ideal candidate profile, while the second has group leaders and current employees introducing individual positions. For those unable to attend in person, an online session will be held Thursday at 3 p.m.

Fast Five has identified "Builder" as the defining candidate profile for this recruitment round. A Builder is described as "someone who ultimately builds something of their own" — a person who accumulates countless attempts and failures to produce results uniquely their own, and who does not shy away from new challenges. The profile reflects how Fast Five itself has grown since launching as a co-working space operator in 2015: the company now runs 66 branches and has expanded into building management, corporate headquarters setup and office interior design.

Fast Five said it will focus on "experience" when selecting candidates. Beyond experienced hires, the company is broadly considering entry-level and contract positions as well, and plans to give opportunities to candidates who have thrown themselves fully into something in their own way — rather than fitting people into a single mold.

"At a time when the job market is more frozen than ever, we want to share our company's vision through our first open recruitment since our founding and prepare for Fast Five's future together with talent who will grow alongside us," Kim said. "We look forward to building the future of spaces by growing together with Builders — people who have the experience of building something uniquely their own, all the way to the end, rather than relying on credentials."

Meanwhile, Fast Five posted record sales of about 150 billion won ($110 million) in 2025, with operating profit of about 6 billion won — marking a second consecutive year in the black on that measure. As of 2025, the company operates 60 branches, serves approximately 4,300 corporate clients and counts more than 35,200 individual members.
