SEOUL, February 24 (AJP) - Samsung Group has launched a new round of international recruitment for research and development professionals, as global competition for technical talent continues to escalate.

The recruitment initiative spans nine Samsung affiliates, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung Display, Samsung SDI, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Samsung SDS, Samsung Biologics, Samsung Bioepis, and Samsung Heavy Industries.

While maintaining its Korean language proficiency requirement of Test of Proficiency in Korean Level 3 or higher, this marks Samsung's fourth recruitment round since August 2023, when the company initially introduced its foreign hiring program with three affiliates.

The latest campaign features relaxed eligibility criteria, allowing graduate school tenure to be recognized as relevant work experience for candidates with master's or doctoral degrees. Previously, the company required at least two years of work experience following a bachelor's degree.

Samsung’s expanded hiring efforts come as global competition for engineering talent intensifies.

U.S.-based Micron Technology, for instance, has actively begun recruiting Korean engineers for its operations in Taiwan and Japan for the first time, underscoring the increasing demand for highly skilled professionals in the semiconductor and technology sectors.
