CJ Group said Wednesday it has launched its second-half open recruitment drive across 13 affiliates and business units, including CJ CheilJedang, CJ Logistics, CJ Olive Young and CJ ENM.
The hiring volume is up more than 40 percent from the same period last year, marking the largest recruitment drive the group has conducted in the past four years.
CJ Group has maintained its open recruitment system for 70 consecutive years, rooted in a "people-first" management philosophy passed down from its founding chairman. Young applicants between the ages of 19 and 34 have accounted for more than 70 percent of all hires for four consecutive years since 2022.
Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Sept. 30, after which candidates will proceed through document screening, a written test and affiliate-specific evaluations. Final hires will take part in a group orientation program in January.
CJ Group will offer immersive content allowing job seekers to get a feel for the company, its roles and work environment. An interactive short drama series co-produced by CJ's in-house venture Studio Shortnaps and CJ ENM will be released on Tving. The group will also hold a two-way recruitment information session using CJ OnStyle's mobile live commerce platform.
The group's official YouTube channel, CJ Careers, will feature content including growth stories from high-achieving employees, benefits tips, and successful cover letters and interview experiences shared by new hires.
Kim Dong-won, CJ Group's head of human resources, said the company will "drive long-term competitiveness and future innovation centered on self-motivated talent who seek out new opportunities and prove themselves through results."
