The company shared rapidly changing employment trends and real-life experiences with job seekers, including those preparing for employment, through concert-style events and one-on-one counseling sessions.

First, on April 26, Kumho Tire met with students of Joseon Technical College and local youth interested in employment by participating in the '2025 JOY Daepul Job Talk Concert.'

Alongside Kumho Tire, companies such as Kia, POSCO, Korea Electric Power Corporation, and Gmarket joined the Job Talk Concert to share real-life stories and discuss changing employment trends with young attendees.

Lim Seyoung, a human resources manager at Kumho Tire who attended as the company's representative, stated, "The ideal employee we want to work with can be described in five syllables as 'a person who works together.' Rather than someone who excels alone, it is more important to have colleagues who can collaborate and grow together."

She further emphasized, "Based on my experience, I feel on the ground that fundamental character and attitude are a more lasting foundation for building trust than the so-called 'specs' people often talk about these days," drawing a positive response from attendees by sharing her personal stories.

Participants asked a range of specific recruitment-related questions, often referred to as 'root questions,' including whether there are extra points for industry-academia cooperation programs, tips for aptitude tests, guidelines for writing self-introductions, and required or essential certifications.

Earlier, on April 24, Kumho Tire also operated a corporate promotion booth at the 'Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Talent Joint Recruitment Briefing Session,' hosted by Gwangju City and Jeonnam Province. Through one-on-one counseling between recruiters and job seekers, the company provided and shared practical information on recruitment plans and processes.

One attendee, who said they came immediately upon hearing that Kumho Tire would be participating in the briefing session, sought advice on various aspects of Kumho Tire and questions about the recruitment process.

At this recruitment briefing session, more than 100 people visited the Kumho Tire promotional booth. This strong interest in Kumho Tire is believed to be partly due to the company achieving record-high sales and operating profit last year.

Last year, Kumho Tire recorded its highest-ever performance, with sales of 4.5322 trillion won and operating profit of 588.6 billion won. This year, the company has set a goal of reaching 5 trillion won in sales.

A Kumho Tire representative said, "We will continue to actively participate in events where we can share not only rapidly changing employment trends but also real-life experiences with job seekers, taking the lead in nurturing local talent."
