SK Hynix Starts Second Half New Graduate Recruitment... Written Test Moves Online

"Improving Recruitment Procedures for Convenience to Attract Top Talent"
Recruiting for 11 Positions

SK Hynix announced on the 20th that it is accepting applications for the second half of the year’s new employee recruitment from the 18th to the 26th. The positions available include 11 fields such as design, device, research and development (R&D), solution design, and production technology (P&T). The company plans to conduct the recruitment process over approximately two months after the document screening and announce the final successful candidates in December.

Starting with this recruitment, SK Hynix has significantly improved the application process to make it more convenient for applicants. The self-introduction essay, which previously required applicants to write 8 questions with 1,000 characters each during the document screening, has been revised to 5 questions (3 mandatory, 2 optional) with 600 characters per question. SK Hynix also allows applicants to select their values and job-related experiences using hashtags (#), increasing opportunities for self-promotion.

The SKCT (SK Competency Test), which was previously conducted offline, will be moved online from this recruitment to reduce inconvenience for applicants.

The ‘cultural fit interview,’ introduced alongside the job suitability interview in the first half of this year, will also be applied in the second half recruitment. The cultural fit interview is a process to verify whether applicants can create synergy with the organization and practice the company’s core values. Unlike typical interviews conducted in a tense Q&A format, this interview allows applicants to comfortably and proactively share their honest stories in a relaxed atmosphere.

Shin Sang-kyu, Vice President of SK Hynix (in charge of corporate culture), said, “Securing outstanding talent is the most important task for the company to overcome the increasingly fierce competition in the global semiconductor industry,” adding, “Since we have improved the entire screening process to be more convenient for applicants, we expect future semiconductor talents to show greater interest in our company.”
