Gwangju Global Motors (GGM) announced on September 30 that a total of 992 applicants competed for 27 positions in the open recruitment for technical and general staff for the second half of 2025, which closed on August 29. This resulted in a high average competition rate of 36.7 to 1. For technical positions, 860 people applied for 22 openings, recording an average competition rate of 39.1 to 1, while for general positions, 132 people applied for 5 openings, resulting in a competition rate of 26.4 to 1.

The large number of young applicants for this open recruitment is interpreted as a result of the employment cliff caused by the economic downturn and the lack of quality jobs. Previously, GGM posted the announcement for its second round of recruitment for 2025 on its website on August 15, aiming to supplement manpower due to surging domestic and international orders for the Casper and to fill vacancies.

GGM is conducting a fair and transparent recruitment process by adopting a blind recruitment method, outsourcing to a professional recruitment agency, and implementing an artificial intelligence (AI) competency assessment. After the AI competency test and document screening, selected candidates will undergo interviews and a medical examination, with the final successful candidates to be announced in November.

A GGM official stated, "The large number of talented applicants for this open recruitment reflects that Gwangju Global Motors has solidified its status as a global automobile manufacturing specialist, having surpassed cumulative production of 200,000 vehicles. The explosive popularity of the Casper electric vehicle both domestically and internationally has further heightened job seekers' expectations."

The official added, "If the strong domestic and international sales of the Casper continue and customer trust in GGM grows, it may become possible to operate a two-shift system in the future. This would create around 300 new jobs, allowing GGM to establish itself as a sustainable small but strong company and providing local youth with a valuable workplace where they can work with peace of mind in their hometown."
