Dongseo Power Promotes 'Untact Intern Recruitment' Using AI

100% AI Screening from Documents to Interviews
"Accelerating Social Value Realization through Youth Job Expansion"

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea East-West Power announced on the 28th that it will hire 100 experiential interns through an artificial intelligence (AI) screening process in a non-face-to-face manner to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) while improving youth employment.

Applications for the experiential youth internship can be submitted on the East-West Power website from July 8 to 25. After document screening and interview stages, the interns are expected to work for about five months starting from July 13 at the East-West Power headquarters and all business sites including Dangjin Thermal Power Plant.

East-West Power stated that it decided to hire 100 people, 11 more than the 89 hired last year. This increase in hiring is aimed at actively addressing the economic downturn and rising youth unemployment caused by COVID-19.

Both document screening and interviews will be conducted through AI screening. The traditional face-to-face interviews between applicants and interviewers have been replaced with non-face-to-face interviews using an online platform. This is to actively implement social distancing due to COVID-19 while enhancing the fairness of recruitment.

An East-West Power official said, "We will safely conduct recruitment by minimizing the risk of COVID-19 infection for applicants through non-face-to-face online interviews," and added, "We will continue to lead the realization of social value by providing a ladder of hope to job seekers through recruitment focused on youth, high school graduates, women, persons with disabilities, and socially disadvantaged groups."

Meanwhile, East-West Power is conducting blind recruitment by removing fields such as photos, school names, academic background, and family information from the application form and requiring supporting documents only after the interview is completed.
