POSCO Begins Accepting Applications for 2020 First Half New Employee Recruitment

Document Submission Starts from the 11th
Information Provided via POSCO TV and Newsroom Instead of On-site Briefing

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] POSCO Group will begin recruiting new employees for the first half of 2020 starting from the 11th. The group companies recruiting are POSCO, POSCO International, POSCO Construction, and POSCO Chemical.

Applications can be submitted through the 'POSCO Recruitment Website.' Additionally, considering changes in academic schedules due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the document submission period has been extended by one week compared to last year, lasting for three weeks until the 31st.

Starting this time, POSCO plans to lower the minimum GPA requirement from 3.0 to 2.8 on a 4.5 scale to provide opportunities to more talents, focusing on evaluating actual experiences through self-introduction letters rather than academic records.

However, minimum GPA and other application requirements vary by group company, so applicants should check the 'POSCO Recruitment Website.' Subsequent aptitude tests and interview schedules will also be separately announced through the website.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of applicants, POSCO will completely cancel offline recruitment activities such as on-site briefings previously held, but plans to provide more detailed information through its own SNS channels.

In February, POSCO released a ‘POSCO New Employee Pohang V-log’ showcasing new employees’ training life at the POSCO Talent Creation Center in Pohang via its official YouTube channel 'POSCO TV.' In March, an interview video where recruitment officers answer applicants’ questions will also be posted. More detailed information can be found through POSCO’s main media channel, Newsroom.

A POSCO recruitment officer stated, "Although the management environment is uncertain and these are socially difficult times, POSCO will strive to practice the management philosophy of 'Corporate Citizenship Growing Together' through continuous job creation."
