LG Electronics is set to recruit new employees in the second half of the year, focusing on future business areas such as robotics and smart factories. This move is seen as a strategy to secure technical talent not only for traditional home appliances and automotive components but also for growth sectors.
On August 26, LG Electronics announced that it will conduct its second-half recruitment through the LG Group hiring portal until September 13. The hiring will involve various divisions, including home appliances, TVs, automotive components, and the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) business, as well as the Korean sales division and the production technology center.
The recruitment will cover 12 job categories, including research and development in robotics and production technology, as well as roles in electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, sales and marketing, supply chain management, purchasing, production, quality assurance, finance, human resources, and business strategy. The focus will particularly be on securing talent in robotics, mobility, smart factories, and HVAC.
To attract talent, LG Electronics will also visit universities directly. Starting August 31, the company will hold recruitment counseling sessions at 12 universities in South Korea, including KAIST, Seoul National University, and Korea University. In the following month, it will conduct information sessions for R&D master's and doctoral candidates at six universities in North America, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University.
This recruitment effort is significant as it reflects LG Electronics' investment in securing talent to enhance the technological competitiveness of new businesses such as robotics and smart factories, in addition to profitability across its various sectors.
Since the second half of 2020, LG Electronics has shifted from regular public recruitment to a more flexible hiring approach. However, during peak demand periods for new graduates, the company conducts separate recruitment drives by job function.
