KT&G (CEO Baek Bok In) will conduct recruitment of new and experienced employees in 2019. Application forms are accepted through the KT&G recruitment website (https://ktng.recruiter.co.kr). New recruits can be applied until September 24 and experienced employees will be available until September 16.

The number of employees expected to be hired this year is 190, more than twice the size of the previous year, which was 80. The fields of recruiting new graduates are 10, including finance, sales & marketing, manufacturing, raw materials, SCM, R & D, personnel, IT, real estate, and global and it is for students who have graduated from a four-year university or higher or plan to graduate in February 2020. Experienced employees are recruited in seven areas: finance, marketing, legal, manufacturing, raw materials, global, and management.

KT&G has hired new high school graduates every year since 2012 to join the creation of youth jobs even in difficult management environments such as intensifying market competition. Recruitment of high school graduates can be applied by students who have been recommended by the principal at specialized high schools such as Meister High Schools nationwide.

The recruitment process is conducted in the order of document screening, personal and aptitude tests, practical interviews, and executive interviews. KT&G has been operating the blind system preemptively since 2008 to establish a fair hiring culture.

In addition, from this year, we will introduce an AI (Artificial Intelligence) interview for new recruits to secure objectivity in the hiring process. Through this, the competency and personality of candidates are verified based on more than 100 million learning cases evaluated by human resources experts to increase fairness and reliability. New recruits will be announced in late November and careers in mid-October.

An official of KT&G said, “We look forward to the application of many challenging and enthusiastic talents who are persistent and devoted to recruiting.” "We will continue to contribute to the national economy through continuous employment expansion and active investment."
