Kakao Conducts Blind Recruitment for New Developers...Double-Digit Scale

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Choi] Kakao announced on the 1st that it is conducting the ‘2023 New Developer Open Recruitment’.

The application period is until 5 PM on the 19th and applications can be submitted on the Kakao recruitment website. The recruitment fields are ▲ Infrastructure ▲ Programming, and applicants can choose only one. The target applicants are new developers and those with less than 3 years of technical experience.

Anyone can take the first online coding test by creating an account after entering their name, email, and mobile phone number on the Kakao talent recruitment site.

Since 2017, Kakao has continued a blind recruitment process that does not collect information such as education, major, age, or gender on the application form. The purpose is to select excellent developers by verifying abilities rather than applicants’ specs during the recruitment process, focusing intensively on development capabilities and job suitability.

The recruitment process will start with the first online coding test on the 24th, followed by the second online coding test, and then the first and second interviews. The final successful candidates, numbering in the double digits, are expected to be selected in November.

Suhwan, head of Kakao’s talent recruitment team, said, "We plan to actively support developers so that they can proactively demonstrate their abilities in a good culture, with good colleagues, and in a good environment," adding, "We look forward to the interest and applications of talented individuals with passion and skills."
