Detailed schedules can be confirmed through the recruitment announcements for each sector.

The AI-based preliminary interview, introduced for the first time last year, will also be conducted as before. This method enhances evaluation objectivity by analyzing applicants’ facial expressions, behaviors, and voice through AI during the question and answer process.

Separately from this recruitment schedule, Hyundai is continuously recruiting experienced software developers in areas such as ▲ Infotainment ▲ Autonomous Driving ▲ Robotics ▲ Electronics through monthly open recruitment. A Hyundai Motor Company official stated, "Our goal is to lead the rapidly evolving mobility market with the best domestic and international R&D talent," adding, "We are committed to creating a work environment where R&D experts can continuously grow and develop."
