Check out Samsung’s recruiting process by each type of hiring.
* The application process may differ from company to company and from job to job.
Samsung’s open recruitment uses a fair evaluation system that focuses on individual applicants’ competencies.
Application Screening
The job fit assessment is a screening round that assesses applicants’ efforts and achievements with respect to competencies for the job.
The applicant's capabilities are assessed based on the details of courses undertaken in the applicant's field of study, as well as activities and experience connected to job duties and the essay etc. provided in the application.
For the R&D, technology, and software job categories, applicants who have successfully completed studies in their major are given priority after a comprehensive assessment of their competencies, including the number and difficulty of subjects completed as well as grades earned.
Specifications unrelated to the job are not accepted.
