Samsung said April 26 it administered its Samsung Aptitude Test (GSAT) for entry-level recruitment applicants over two days starting April 25.
A total of 18 affiliates held the test, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung Display, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Samsung SDI, Samsung SDS, Samsung Biologics, Samsung Bioepis, Samsung C&T, Samsung Heavy Industries, Samsung E&A, Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, Samsung Securities, Samsung Asset Management, Cheil Worldwide, Samsung Global Research, S-1 and Samsung Welstory.
Samsung began its first-half open recruitment process in March with the application period. After GSAT, it plans to select new hires through interviews in May, health checks and other steps.
Applicants for software development and design positions will be evaluated through an SW competency test and a design portfolio review, respectively, instead of GSAT.
GSAT is designed to assess creative thinking and flexible problem-solving. It was first introduced in the second half of 1995 and marks its 31st anniversary this year.
Samsung has administered GSAT online since 2020, a shift made during the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicants can take the test on a PC in an independent location.
Samsung introduced South Korea’s first open recruitment system for new employees in 1957 and has maintained it for 70 years. The company has announced a plan to hire 60,000 people over the next five years as it seeks to accelerate investment in future growth businesses.
A Samsung official said the company will continue expanding efforts to identify talent in artificial intelligence to lead the global AI era, adding that it plans to actively foster future growth businesses and contribute to the national economy.
