Hyundai 'Kingsanjik' to Hire 800 Next Year... Twice the Recruitment Scale Compared to This Year

Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 18th that it will hire production and technical personnel targeting the first half of next year. Production workers (technical staff) working at domestic factories will be additionally recruited one year after hiring new personnel for the first time in 10 years this year.

This recruitment will be conducted in three main areas: finished vehicle production at domestic production plants (Ulsan, Asan, Jeonju), research and development (R&D) technology at Namyang Research Center, and design modelers. The eligibility requirement is a high school diploma or higher, with no age or gender restrictions. Detailed requirements for each recruitment area can be found on Hyundai Motor’s recruitment website.

Technical positions, which attracted attention in last year’s hiring market, will recruit 380 people in the first half of next year. Including 12 people who were not hired last year, the total scale is 392. Additionally, 400 more people will be hired in the second half of next year.
