The Recruiter

The Recruiter (also known as The Salesman) was a man who worked as a recruiter for the Squid Games from the 33rd Squid Game in 2020 until his death in 2024. Appearing as a good-looking, polite, and wise man, his true personality behind those traits show a ruthless and sadistic man.

He was originally a guard from the Squid Games who earned the trust of the game's creator, Oh Il-nam, over time. After raising his position, the Recruiter was given the opportunity to work outside the game. His role was to be the recruiter and recruit people by playing Ddakji with them, and later giving them a card if they win.
