SK Hynix has changed its hiring standards to focus on job capabilities and growth potential rather than academic background, citing the era of artificial general intelligence. The company said it will fully abolish education restrictions starting with its rolling entry-level recruitment that begins on June 17. It will delete all academic qualification requirements previously listed in job postings and allow applicants to apply and pass regardless of education if their experience, job competencies and cultural fit align.

KB Kookmin Bank will recruit applicants for its 2026 summer hands-on internship programme as it seeks to secure future financial talent. The bank will hire young people in three areas: digital, IT and AI and platform development. Applications are accepted through June 24 via the bank’s recruitment website. The selection process will be conducted online, and interns who complete the programme will receive benefits linked to entry-level hiring.
