As mentioned in the PressReader, the Samsung Group is looking to hire new employees. The target is to enlist about 80,000 new staff in over five years, which started in 2022. Thus, recruitment to achieve the said workforce number is already in its second year.

The participating companies include Samsung Electronics, Samsung Display, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Samsung SDI, Samsung SDS, Samsung BioLogics, Samsung Bioepis, Samsung C&T, Samsung Heavy Industries, Samsung Engineering, Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, and Samsung Securities. In addition, the group’s other affiliates, Samsung Asset Management, Hotel Shilla, Cheil Worldwide, S-1, Samsung Global Research, and Samsung Welstory Inc., are hiring as well.
These companies will mainly target new workers with job experience or excellent talent. They will also consider foreign candidates who meet Samsung’s academic eligibility criteria depending on the roles they are applying for.
