Simmons' Experiential Internship Popular... Over 1,000 Apply for 14 Positions

In January, at a workshop held for Simmons Sleepmasters, the Sleepmasters participated in a paper airplane long-distance flying experience after a lecture by the unique sports marketing company 'WePlay'.

Simmons announced on the 10th that more than 1,000 applicants applied for Simmons' ‘2023 University Student Summer Internship Program,’ which selects 14 candidates.

In the document screening for the experiential summer internship, which closed on the 25th of last month, 1,085 people applied, recording a competition rate of 77 to 1. The recruitment fields include ▲Sleep Master ▲Sales Support ▲VMD ▲Construction Supervision ▲Quality Control ▲Material Purchasing ▲HR Officer (Recruitment & Training), totaling seven categories.

Through this internship program, Simmons plans to secure promising new talent early and systematically nurture them to build a high-quality talent pool of MZ generation (Millennials + Generation Z) with strong organizational fit and work capabilities.

Simmons has formed a strong MZ generation fandom through fresh branding such as ‘advertising without beds’ and ‘pop-up stores without beds.’ The average age of employees is 34. Simmons stated that they have work-life balance, educational programs for self-development, and a solid compensation system in place.

Even during the COVID-19 period when corporate hiring was declining, Simmons secured future growth engines by recruiting MZ generation talent. The number of employees, which was around 270 in 2017, increased to about 630 last year, more than doubling. Due to this active talent recruitment, Simmons was selected as a Youth-Friendly Small Giant Company by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in 2019.

The final successful candidates who pass the document screening, aptitude test, and interview will perform their respective job duties on-site for about a month from August 1 to 31.

Kim Kyung-eun, head of Simmons People & Culture Department, said, "It seems that the preference for the Simmons brand, led by the younger generation, has led to a relay of applications," and explained, "The final successful candidates will gain practical skills in the field through this summer internship and experience Simmons' unique corporate culture, making it a valuable experience before fully entering society."
