Kia is set to launch its largest recruitment drive in three years. The company plans to implement an AI-based problem-solving assessment to select candidates capable of collaborating with artificial intelligence.
On September 8, Kia announced that it will begin its "2026 Second Half Intensive Recruitment" on the 15th, seeking both new and experienced talent across 30 sectors, including production/manufacturing, IT, business/planning, management support, and research and development.
New applicants must be expected graduates from a four-year university by February 2027 or hold a bachelor's or master's degree. Experienced candidates can check eligibility through individual job postings. Applications for new hires will be accepted from the 15th to the 29th, while experienced hires can apply from the 23rd to October 7.
The recruitment for new hires is expected to number in the hundreds, marking the largest scale in the past three years. For the first time in the industry, Kia will introduce an "AI problem-solving" verification stage to assess candidates' capabilities in addressing issues related to AI.
A Kia representative stated, "In an era where AI and humans solve problems together, Kia is looking for talent who can not only handle AI but also collaborate with it to create new possibilities."
