Purpose: The employment landscape of emergency medical team (EMT)-paramedics plays a pivotal role in maintaining the quality and stability of emergency medical services. However, empirical studies based on real-world employment data are limited. This study investigated hiring trends, job conditions, and qualification requirements by analyzing EMT-paramedic job postings. Methods: Job postings for EMT-paramedics were collected daily from September 20 to December 19, 2024, via two major online recruitment platforms: Saramin and Employment24. A total of 531 postings were analyzed after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Variables such as employer type, employment type, salary range, required education, experience, and working conditions were extracted. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and chi-square tests were performed. Results: Most postings were from secondary medical institutions (39.5%) and private ambulance services (28.6%). Most employers hired for a single position (64.2%), and the most common work regions were Gyeonggi-do (23.4%) and Seoul (14.5%). Salaries were not specified in 83.4% of postings, with only 9.2% indicating salaries between 25 and 30 million Korean won. Permanent employment was the most frequent type (63.3%), whereas 20.1% of the postings were either contract-based or mixed employment types. A three-month probation period was most common (37.5%), although nearly half did not specify any probation term. Regarding qualifications, 84.9% of the postings were open to applicants without prior experience, and 66.3% required only a high school diploma. Chi-square tests revealed no statistically significant association between salary level and required experience (p = .922) or between salary level and educational requirements (p = .620). However, salary level was significant association with employment type (p < .001), indicating that higher salaries tended to be linked to more stable employment terms. Conclusion: This study provides empirical insights into EMT-paramedic employment trends, emphasizing a strong demand for entry-level workers, the dominance of permanent roles, and a lack of salary transparency. These findings underscore the need for standardized job posting practices, employment stabilization measures, and policy efforts to ensure consistent hiring standards. Further research should include long-term data and qualitative approaches to better understand EMT-paramedic employment dynamics and guide workforce planning.
