TI Korea (CEO Kent Jeon, www.ti.com/ww/kr) December 27, 2013 – TI Korea (CEO Kent Jeon) put greater effort than ever into talent acquisition through public recruitment of college graduates in 2013. The company planned talk concerts and job fairs to create an environment that was more accessible and comfortable for university students. Additionally, through a 'New Employee Parent Invitation Event,' TI Korea promoted its vision and broadened family members' understanding.

■ Diverse Recruitment Activities Beyond Conventional Information Sessions

TI Korea visited five major domestic universities in the first and second half of this year to conduct TI recruitment briefings. Through TI's unique catchphrases such as 'The Pride of Engineering Students' and 'The Playground of Engineering Students,' the company generated considerable interest from engineering students and moved away from the one-way communication seen in conventional briefings, instead planning two-way events focused on communication with students.

In May of this year, the 'Pride of Engineering Students' program, conducted in talk concert format, featured TI executives and employees as speakers who shared their experiences and discussed the challenges they faced during university life and the job search process, aiming to instill pride in engineering students.

In August, the company also held a job fair at COEX Megabox under the theme 'The Playground of Engineering Students.' This event provided an opportunity for university students to directly experience TI's technologies that they typically could not easily access through exhibitions of TI's innovative technology products. Through a job briefing format combined with movie viewing, attendees had the opportunity to learn about TI's technology and company vision.

■ New Employee Parent Invitation Forum
TI Korea held a 'New Employee Parent Invitation Event' on the 4th at the Conrad Hotel Seoul, inviting newly hired employees and their families in 2013.

Held for the second time following last year, the event provided an opportunity for new employee families to understand TI Korea's talent development philosophy and career development vision by sharing experiences of TI Korea's President Kent Jeon and other executives and examining the training programs for new employees together.

At the event, TI Korea President Kent Jeon expressed his sentiment, stating, "I am very pleased to be able to share TI Korea's vision with new employees and their families who will lead TI Korea's future." He added, "As a leading global semiconductor company, TI will do its best to enable new employees to fully demonstrate their abilities."

Since implementing public recruitment in the second half of 2010, TI Korea has conducted public recruitment of college graduates for four consecutive years. Despite a reduced number of job categories this year compared to last year, applications increased for each position, setting a record-high application-to-position ratio.

TI has operated the NCG (New College Graduate) program, its proprietary talent development program, for approximately 30 years. Through this program, TI provides excellent students with job opportunities and systematic training programs to cultivate leaders in the electronics industry.

Meanwhile, TI is currently recruiting CQE (Customer Quality Engineer) interns for university and graduate students. An online recruitment briefing session will be held on January 3rd (Friday) next year, and detailed information regarding the internship can be found at careers.ti.com/content/ti-korea.

Based on TI's human resources philosophy that talent development is the foundation of growth, TI Korea plans to continue with diverse recruitment activities in the future.
