Over 4,300 Applicants Flock to GGM Technical Entry-Level Recruitment

Application Deadline Results Show 31.4 to 1 Competition Ratio

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] More than 4,300 applicants have flocked to the open recruitment of technical (production) entry-level employees at Gwangju Global Motors Co., Ltd. (GGM), the nation's first regional win-win job company.

According to GGM on the 24th, the open application for GGM technical entry-level employees, recruiting 137 people (including a limited competition for the disabled) in production and quality control fields, ended with 4,302 applicants, recording a competition rate of 31.4 to 1.

In the limited competition for the disabled, recruiting 9 people, 129 applied, showing a competition rate of 14.3 to 1.

This entry-level recruitment is the third following the technical recruitment in January (186 people) and the general recruitment in February (43 people).

GGM has conducted a total of 11 open recruitments so far, and it is expected that about 520 jobs will be created once this technical recruitment is completed.

GGM analyzed that the reasons for the large number of applicants this time, as in the previous recruitment, include ▲the employment cliff caused by COVID-19 ▲lack of quality jobs in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions ▲expectations and trust in GGM.

In particular, the preferential clause for local talents who graduated or are expected to graduate from high schools or universities located in Gwangju and Jeonnam is evaluated to have motivated local talents.

Additionally, it is said that securing fairness, transparency, and objectivity in the recruitment process so far also played a part.

GGM adopts a blind recruitment method in all hiring processes, entrusts recruitment to specialized agencies, and conducts AI competency tests to ensure fair and transparent procedures.

The AI competency test is also a mandatory item that applicants must take.

GGM plans to conduct interviews for those who pass the AI competency test and document screening in this recruitment and announce the final successful candidates by the end of next month.

CEO Park Kwang-tae said, “Since many talents from Gwangju and Jeonnam applied for this technical entry-level recruitment as well, we will proceed with fair and transparent recruitment procedures with a greater sense of responsibility and mission,” adding, “We will continue to hire personnel according to the production stages to achieve employment of about 1,000 people at the headquarters.”
