[인더스트리뉴스 이건오 기자] ThinkForBL is accelerating the recruitment of foreign talent to preemptively respond to the rapidly changing global AI market.

A company official said, “Over the two days of the event, 450 people visited the booth, including those who made reservations in advance (regarding 200) and those who registered on-site (regarding 250), and regarding 60 people interviewed in person.” We have been selected as candidates, and we plan to discuss the terms of employment with them in the future to give them the opportunity to officially join the company.”
“We plan to have additional interviews with the company by setting up a separate schedule for some of the job seekers who have not been able to get an opportunity in the field due to the unexpectedly large number of people showing interest,” he explained.
According to Thinkforbil, the fact that more foreigners applied for jobs than in previous years can be found in the fact that the number of job seekers who visited the event increased as the Corona 19 epidemic subsided. In addition, the company believes that the expansion of the recruitment field, which was limited to research and development (R&D) positions until last year, to △web design △management support △marketing △office management △secretary positions also played a role.
While preparing for the recruitment of foreigners in 2016, Thinkforbil has identified failure cases in which many companies have experienced difficulties in cultural differences, language communication problems, and labor relations. Accordingly, it focused on creating conditions by promoting global labor consulting and internal workshops.
A company official said, “As a result, one-third of all full-time employees are currently filled with foreigners, and last year, five people were hired only in the R&D position.” I have been working for a long time without doing it.”
In recognition of these efforts, the company was selected as an excellent foreign recruiting company at last year’s job fair, and this year <아리랑TV>It was introduced and attracted media attention. The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), which hosted the event, also sees it as a meaningful case of hiring foreigners.

It was also confirmed that there were not a few cases in which job seekers applied following carefully checking company-related information. In fact, there were many job seekers who showed a willingness to pursue both personal and company development in more detail, rather than simply seeking employment opportunities in Korea.
On-site interviewer Yana Khan (female, Kazakhstan) said, “I checked the company through the Internet, and I was drawn to the progressive and open atmosphere and applied.”
Beng Ern Lowe (female, Malaysia) said, “I heard a lot of news regarding AI reliability through the media, etc., and the company name appeared regularly, so I was very interested. I would like to take this opportunity to work together and contribute to the advancement of technology,” she said.
Park Ji-hwan, CEO of Thinkforbl, said, “Corporate culture must accept diversity and accept global human resources without limits, just as much as selling products to overseas markets.” This reflects the company’s will not to allow any discrimination to foreigners in the ‘fair opportunity, fair evaluation, and reasonable compensation’ that the company aims for.”
