Amid the fervor for second-half 2026 open recruitment, SK Hynix was identified as the company that drew the most attention from job seekers over the past year. Hyundai Motor took second place, while Samsung Electronics recorded fifth.
Incruit analyzed data on companies set as interests by job seekers over the recent one-year period (September 2025 to September 2026) and released a ranking of popular companies reflecting these findings on the 16th.
Incruit's "Set Interest Company" feature allows job seekers to register companies of interest and receive email notifications for those companies' recruitment postings. By setting a company as an interest, users can stay updated on its hiring news without having to search for individual job listings.
SK Hynix (1.60%) was the most frequently set as an interest by job seekers over the past year. Hyundai Motor came in second with 1.48%, followed by Incheon International Airport Corporation at third with 0.87%. Kakao took fourth place (0.81%), Samsung Electronics fifth (0.78%), and CJOlive Young sixth (0.77%). CJOlive Young maintained steady popularity, driven by global trends in K-beauty.
KEPCO Corporation ranked seventh (0.74%), Woori Bank eighth (0.73%), CJ ENM ninth (0.71%), and Hyundai Mobis tenth (0.67%). Among the 10th popular interest companies selected by job seekers, two were public institutions: Incheon International Airport Corporation and KEPCO Corporation. Woori Bank was the only financial company on the list.
An Incruit official stated, "We are providing various employment support services for job seekers preparing for second-half open recruitment." The official added, "In addition to our AI-powered employment support service 'Navi,' we offer 'Pass Shop,' a collection of products designed to strengthen competencies needed to pass interviews, and 'Job Fortune,' which allows users to check compatibility with companies of interest and access recruitment information, helping job seekers in their preparation."
