CJ ENM launches second-half recruitment drive with live-commerce info session, short drama

CJ ENM is conducting its second-half new hire recruitment for 2026, expanding its outreach to applicants through a range of programs, including a job fair modeled on a live-commerce broadcast.

The company announced Thursday that the recruitment drive is divided into two tracks: a general track and a military officer track.

The general track covers a total of 12 roles across CJ ENM and its streaming service Tving. CJ ENM positions include content planning and programming, content marketing, data engineer, ad sales partnership, global content sales, and human resources. Tving positions include AI product and content builder, product manager, content operations and management, and front-end and back-end engineer.

The military officer track covers two CJ ENM roles: ad sales partnership and global content sales.

The hiring process proceeds in four stages — application submission, a written test, a first-round interview and a second-round interview. Successful candidates are set to join the company in January 2027. Applications are accepted on the CJ Group recruitment website from Wednesday through Sept. 30. Final hires will complete an orientation program before officially starting work.

CJ ENM highlighted its use of in-house content production capabilities as a defining feature of this recruitment cycle, saying the approach was designed to broaden its touchpoints with applicants.

On Tuesday, a live-commerce-style recruitment information session will be broadcast live on the CJ OnStyle app. The session will present job roles and company information in the format of a product showcase, with recruiters appearing on air to answer applicants' questions in real time.

The company has also released an interactive short drama, "One Day, a New Employee Gets 7 Sunbae?!", on Tving and the CJ Careers YouTube channel. CJ ENM's Media Solution BU planned the production, which was made in collaboration with Shortnaps, an in-house venture of CJ Group.

Meanwhile, CJ ENM said it introduced a pre-employment program earlier this year under its "Be the First" recruitment track, targeting candidates secured in advance. The program allows prospective hires to experience CJ ENM's content and production environment firsthand before their official start date.
