Lotte Construction Conducts First Half Talent Recruitment Through 'Video Interviews'

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Lotte Construction announced on the 14th that it conducted online video interviews over two days, on the 7th and 8th, for the recruitment of new employees in the first half of 2020.

The online video interviews, held for candidates who passed Lotte Group's aptitude test (L-TAB), were designed to prioritize safety amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, allowing interviewees to connect to the video program and attend the interview from their preferred locations.

To ensure smooth interviews, Lotte Construction provided candidates with manuals detailing preparation steps and procedures, conducted pre-tests to guide them through the video interview process, and checked the candidates' equipment and network status. Additionally, a 24-hour one-on-one open chat room using smartphones was operated to promptly address any questions from candidates unfamiliar with video interviews.

The first half of the year new employee recruitment interviews at Lotte Construction were conducted in the order of a PT interview and English interview on the first day, followed by competency and executive interviews on the second day, all held via video conferencing. Successful candidates will join as new employees in August.

A satisfaction survey conducted after the video interviews showed that 84% of respondents were satisfied with the video interview process.

A Lotte Construction official stated, "We conducted non-face-to-face video interviews to minimize infection risks for interviewees and to align with the digital transformation era. We will continue to strive to realize digital transformation in our recruitment methods."

Meanwhile, since May, Lotte Construction has been actively communicating by uploading content where employees share their experiences on how to write self-introductions, interview tips, stories of joining from each business unit manager, and know-how on workplace life.
