[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Samsung Group will conduct the Samsung Aptitude Test (GSAT), the written exam for the second half new employee recruitment, online over two days on the 31st of this month and the 1st of next month.

According to industry sources on the 7th, Samsung recently sent guidance documents regarding the written exam to applicants who passed the first round of the job suitability evaluation among the second half recruitment applicants.

Samsung's recruitment is conducted across most affiliates including Samsung Electronics, Samsung Display, Samsung SDI, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Samsung SDS, and Samsung C&T.

In previous years, the exam was held offline, but since the first half of this year, the written exam has been conducted online to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Samsung plans to continue using the online format for the written exam in the future to reduce social costs caused by large-scale on-site testing.

The second half GSAT will also be conducted online as in the first half, and a preliminary gathering by company and division will be held one week before the exam to provide applicants with the necessary tools for the online test.

In the first half, kits containing necessary tools for the exam such as ID card covers for personal information protection, smartphone holders, and memo pads for each test section were provided.

Samsung plans to conduct face-to-face and online interviews by affiliate for those who pass the written exam in November, and announce the final list of successful candidates in December.
