LG Uplus Conducts LSR and UX New Employee Recruitment-Linked Contest

Prize Money for Awardees Provided · Exemption from Document Screening for New Hires

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] LG Uplus announced on the 18th that it will recruit outstanding talents in the fields of LSR (Life Soft Research·Customer Experience Research) and UX (User Experience·User Experience) through a contest open until November 21.

Since 2013, LG Uplus has been recruiting outstanding talents in the fields of LSR and UX through contests. Those in charge of LSR/UX not only discover innovative experiences at all customer touchpoints based on in-depth research but also design highly refined service usage experiences to develop excellent services.

The contest fields are ▲Customer Insight ▲UI (User Interface) Planning and Design ▲GUI (Graphic User Interface) Design ▲UX Engineering ▲Product Design, totaling five areas.

The theme for the ‘Customer Insight’ field is customer experience according to changes in customer lifestyle, customer experience in the communication service usage journey, and the UX direction of the company’s services. The two fields of ‘UI Planning and Design’ and ‘GUI Design’ share themes related to media services based on post-COVID lifestyle changes or changes in the media and online video service (OTT) market, and new services based on metaverse and mixverse trends.

UX Engineering accepts submissions on the topic of redesigning and prototyping the mobile web of the company’s K-pop idol specialized media content platform ‘Idol Plus,’ while Product Design covers new designs for home IoT product groups such as home CCTV and home control products, as well as media product groups including set-top boxes, Wi-Fi routers, soundbars, and next-generation remote controls.

LG Uplus evaluates works based on various criteria such as suitability, analytical ability, logic, and creativity, selecting 12 award-winning works. The announcement of winners and the awards ceremony will be held in the fourth week of November. Prize money is 3 million KRW for ‘Platinum (1 person),’ 2 million KRW for ‘Gold (1 person),’ 1 million KRW each for ‘Silver (5 people),’ and 500,000 KRW each for ‘Bronze (5 people).’

LG Uplus offers not only the winners but also excellent participants who did not win the contest benefits such as eligibility for new employee recruitment and exemption from document screening. After aptitude tests and AI video and practical interviews in December, successful candidates will undergo a four-week internship in January 2023 and join as new employees in the LSR/UX department through a final interview in February.

Anyone who is expected to graduate before February 2023 or has less than two years of work experience (regardless of major) and is eligible to participate in the new employee recruitment process can apply.

Kim Ji-hyuk, Executive Director of LG Uplus LSR/UX Department, said, “We hold the contest every year to secure outstanding talents with high growth potential by verifying job competencies regardless of academic background or major,” and added, “We look forward to many talents creating customer experience innovation together with LG Uplus.”
