South Korean corporations LG Electronics and KT have launched new recruitment initiatives targeting university graduates.

LG Electronics is focusing on growth sectors such as robotics, mobility, smart factories, and HVAC. The company plans to conduct recruitment information sessions at various universities in South Korea and North America, including MIT and Carnegie Mellon.

KT is recruiting approximately 140 graduates for roles in network infrastructure, B2B consulting, and B2C marketing. A distinctive feature of KT’s process is the evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI) competency. The company aims to assess how applicants use AI to solve practical problems rather than testing theoretical knowledge, supporting its transition toward an ‘AI transformation (AX) platform company’.
