Samsung Group has unveiled sweeping plans to recruit 60,000 employees over the next five years, a move aimed at fostering future growth engines and creating opportunities for young people.
The country’s largest conglomerate confirmed the recruitment drive will prioritise semiconductors, biotechnology and artificial intelligence, according to Yonhap news agency. Nineteen affiliates, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung C&T and Samsung Biologics, are currently engaged in hiring initiatives.
Samsung has upheld an open recruitment programme for entry-level positions since 1957, and the group said it will continue to run tailored internship schemes to give young jobseekers practical experience, with verified candidates progressing to formal employment.

In parallel with its workforce expansion, Samsung is accelerating its technological footprint. The company announced that it aims to deliver the Galaxy AI experience to over 400 million devices worldwide by the end of 2025.
Since debuting the world’s first AI-powered handset, the Galaxy S24 series, in 2024, Samsung has broadened its AI ecosystem by embedding multimodal intelligence into wearables, tablets, PCs and beyond. The momentum has been remarkable, with over 70% of Galaxy S25 users engaging with Galaxy AI and the recent Galaxy Z series launch extending its reach further through One UI 8.
Popular AI functions include Photo Assist and Audio Eraser, the former seeing nearly double the usage among Galaxy S25 owners compared with S24 users. Samsung’s collaboration with Google has also been pivotal, integrating features such as Gemini Live and Circle to Search, the latter now used daily by more than half of Galaxy S25 users.
Together, Samsung’s dual strategy of large-scale hiring and AI innovation signals its commitment not only to technological leadership but also to national and global economic growth.
