Hyundai Mobis Recruiting SW Academy Trainees... Employment Conversion After Completion of Training

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Hyundai Mobis announced on the 22nd that it is recruiting trainees for the 'Recruitment-Linked SW Academy' until January 4 next year to secure future mobility software talent.

The recruitment-linked SW Academy, introduced by Hyundai Mobis for the first time this time, provides job seekers with free software education opportunities at external institutions linked with the company, and hires those who complete the training.

The company explained that the advantage is that it can immediately hire customized talent after outsourced training at specialized software institutions, and job seekers can gain software development experience specialized for the corporate field, which cannot be learned at general universities.

Hyundai Mobis is recruiting trainees for the recruitment-linked SW Academy and is also introducing a hiring method that does not distinguish academic background or major. The purpose is to evaluate only skills in introducing excellent software talent through coding tests.

Trainees selected for the SW Academy will complete a total of four weeks of online and offline training programs starting in February next year. The curriculum is composed of embedded software sections necessary for automotive software engineering and parts development.

Hyundai Mobis plans to hire students who complete this training immediately through a final interview. The final hiring scale is known to be in the double digits.

Separately from the introduction of the recruitment-linked SW Academy, Hyundai Mobis plans to continue pursuing an aggressive hiring strategy to secure excellent software talent. Hyundai Mobis is recruiting outstanding master's and doctoral talents from research scholarship students or contract departments of major universities with which it has signed agreements for future car core parts development.

In addition, Hyundai Mobis has been holding software competitions open not only to majors but also to the general public since this year, and is hiring excellent winners. About 4,000 general participants applied for the competition held in September, and the hiring process is currently underway for talents participating in this competition.

Recruitment of excellent overseas talents responsible for developing ordered products for global customers is also actively underway. They will work at local research institutes in Korea as well as North America and Europe, and will be responsible for Hyundai Mobis's software platform development in the future.

Meanwhile, with Hyundai Mobis's continuous expansion of excellent software talent recruitment, research and development personnel are steadily increasing. As of the third quarter, the number of domestic and overseas research and development personnel is approaching 6,000, which is about a 45% increase compared to three years ago in 2018.
