1. Recruitment for Junior Positions

Large Korean multinational companies such as Samsung, Hyundai, and LG generally conduct two recruitment campaigns per year, in February and September, for junior positions, coinciding with university graduation periods. For certain job categories, these campaigns account for the majority of their recruitment.

Korean SMEs and foreign companies established in Korea, on the other hand, do not have specific recruitment periods.
