To secure global talent, SK Bioscience actively conducted recruitment activities targeting foreign students at the event. In particular, they held a separate session to explain the company’s global expansion strategy and recruitment process, and a senior employee from Tajikistan working in the overseas business department gave direct advice on employment, drawing enthusiastic responses from attendees with a realistic perspective.

SK Bioscience is currently recruiting outstanding global talent in various fields such as research and development (R&D) and overseas business in line with its future growth strategy, and is actively pursuing talent acquisition this year as well. Last year and earlier this year, the company also consecutively recruited senior executives from international organizations and global big pharma companies. Through this, SK Bioscience plans to expand the global network built during the pandemic period and actively expand its overseas business. Recently, SK Bioscience acquired shares in the U.S. biotech company Novavax to expand strategic cooperation and is working on establishing new pipelines with overseas companies and organizations. Earlier this year, it also established its U.S. subsidiary, ‘SK Bioscience USA,’ to accelerate entry into advanced markets such as the U.S. and Europe.

Jongsu Park, Head of Corporate Culture at SK Bioscience, said, “As our future growth strategy is being implemented concretely, the need to recruit outstanding global talent has grown more than ever before,” adding, “We will actively hire global talent going forward and grow into a world-class company that lives up to our vision as the ‘Global Innovative Partner of Vaccine and Biotech.’”
