June 17 (Asia Today) -- South Korean chipmaker SK hynix said Wednesday it had eliminated college degree requirements for entry-level applicants as the company shifts its hiring focus from academic credentials to practical skills and growth potential.
The new policy applies to the company's rolling recruitment campaign that began Wednesday.
SK hynix plans to hire hundreds of new employees across major areas, including semiconductor design and other technical positions.
Previous job postings required applicants to hold at least a bachelor's degree from a four-year university. Those requirements have been removed.
