Both Master's and PhD R&D Talents Hired... Industry-Academia Scholarship Students Also Selected Simultaneously

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyoon] SK Innovation and its six affiliates have launched recruitment for new employees in the second half of this year.

According to SK Innovation on the 12th, the companies hiring new employees this time include SK Innovation, SK Energy, SK Geocentric, SK Lubricants, SK Incheon Petrochem, SK Trading International, SK Earth On, and the Environmental Science and Technology Institute. The scale of recruitment is at a three-digit level similar to the first half of this year. Following the abolition of open recruitment by SK Group, this is the second time they are conducting independent recruitment after the first half of this year.

Applicants can submit their applications by the 25th. SK Innovation began accepting documents on the 8th. Through about two months of document screening, written tests, and interviews, the final successful candidates will be announced in early December. The final successful candidates will join the company in early January 2023. Considering the ongoing COVID-19 situation, all stages including written tests and interviews will be conducted online and non-face-to-face.

In particular, from this second half, SK Innovation is actively seeking talent in research and development (R&D) and tech fields to lead the development of its green portfolio. In the past, new recruitment targeted only master's degree students, but from this recruitment, doctoral students will also be included. To proactively secure outstanding talent in R&D and tech fields, they also plan to select industry-academia scholarship students.

An SK Innovation recruitment official said, “We aim to select passionate talent who will execute SK Innovation’s Carbon to Green strategy,” adding, “Along with this, we will select talent across all job positions in related fields for the financial story and net zero promotion, as well as ESG practices of the six companies within the group.”

Meanwhile, SK Innovation has opened and is operating a dedicated promotional page to make it easy for applicants to obtain recruitment-related information. Through this, they provide a collection of previously undisclosed information such as company-specific workplaces, development systems, organization and job introductions, and working methods to enhance applicants’ understanding. They also provide various recruitment-related information through SK Innovation’s specialized news channel SKIno News and YouTube channel and other online communication channels.
