Samsung Vietnam conducts massive recruitment despite impact from coronavirus

The world's largest smartphone maker plans to employ more Vietnamese workers to leverage production activities this year. The company will hire engineers, bachelors of all majors from universities and institutes throughout the country.

The recruitment also marks Samsung’s 10 years of nurturing and developing high quality human resources in Vietname, said the tech firm. 

Samsung Vietnam annually organises large-scale recruitment, with a frequency of twice a year since 2011. In particular, it is the first and only unit to conduct the Global Samsung Aptitude Test on a large scale, to ensure openness, transparency and offer equal opportunities for all bachelors in the country.

This is also a round in the Samsung’s global recruitment process. This year, Samsung has recorded impressive numbers of nearly 190,000 applications. Some 60,000 candidates taking part in the test round and nearly 14,000 employees were recruited from this exam.

"Although the COVID-19 pandemic has caused difficulties to the business operations of the company in particular and all socio-economic aspects of Vietnam in general, we continue to implement recruitment activities on large scale to prepare resources for the succession of Samsung development plan in the near future and for joining hands to solve the recent youth unemployment problem,” stated Choi Joo Ho, President of Samsung Vietnam.
