POSCO Holdings (KRX:005490) and five affiliate companies will hire more than 100 new graduates for roles spanning AI, robotics, production and management, the group said Wednesday. The second-half recruitment, starting immediately, covers 60-plus job functions across the group's steel, battery materials, trading and research operations.
POSCO Future M, the battery-materials subsidiary, is recruiting for AI and robotics research. POSCO International, the trading arm, is seeking sales and marketing staff. The Institute of Advanced Materials and Institute for Advanced Engineering are adding R&D personnel focused on emerging technologies.
POSCO Holdings' market capitalisation was ₩27.1 trillion at Thursday's close. First-half operating income of ₩1.526 trillion exceeded FY2025 annual operating income of ₩1.827 trillion, driven by margin improvement in steel and a swing to profit in subsidiaries.
Group employment across the three largest units (steel, battery materials, trading) totalled about 30,000 as of end-2025, against which this hiring cycle represents roughly 0.3% annual attrition replacement plus growth.
