APR announced on the 31st that it will conduct a recruitment drive for new graduates in the second half of 2026. Applications for this recruitment drive will be accepted via the APR recruitment website starting September 1.
APR will recruit talent for a total of 32 positions across eight departments, including △Product Planning △Marketing △Design △Legal △Development △Production. The company aims to fill positions with professionals possessing expertise across all departments necessary for business operations.
The recruitment process will proceed in the following order: document screening, organizational fit assessment, and interviews. For select positions, a project-based assessment will be added. Anyone holding a four-year bachelor’s degree or scheduled to graduate in February 2027 is eligible to apply. Successful candidates will be offered the opportunity to transition to full-time employment after completing a three-month internship program.
Concurrently with this recruitment drive, APR is launching “Campus Recruiting,” a recruitment counseling program targeting major universities in Korea. Starting September 1 through 11, beginning with Yonsei University, the company will visit a total of seven universities—including Hanyang University, Korea University, Sungkyunkwan University, Ewha Womans University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, and Kyung Hee University—to conduct recruitment briefings and counseling sessions for college students and job seekers.
In particular, the company has prepared a variety of programs for this Campus Recruiting initiative designed to present company information in an approachable manner. Not only will practitioners from each department conduct consultations to deepen understanding of the roles and provide practical recruitment information, but the company also plans to give Medicube products to all applicants who participate in the consultations.
APR plans to continue its trend of expanding employment alongside this recruitment drive. In its “2025 APR Sustainable Management Report” published last June, APR identified securing global talent as one of the company’s key issues. To this end, the company is continuously establishing a comprehensive talent development framework that includes not only recruitment but also onboarding programs, job enhancement programs, and employee benefits. The company’s policy is to go beyond simply securing talent to lead the company in step with the structural growth of the beauty industry; it also aims to contribute to talent development and the creation of high-quality jobs.
An APR official stated, “For a company, recruitment is not merely about securing manpower; it is a strategic choice to secure the core competitiveness that will lead the company’s future,” adding, “We plan to continue recruiting and nurturing top talent to build a solid foundation of human capital.”
