#KT&G Corporation announced on the 12th that it is accepting applications for its open recruitment of new graduates and experienced professionals for the second half of 2026.

The hiring process consists of a document screening, an AI video interview, a technical interview, an executive interview, and a pre-employment medical examination. The company plans to enhance objectivity and fairness by implementing blind hiring and AI competency assessments.
