The world's fifth-biggest automaking group plans to hold the 8th Hyundai Motor Group Global Top Talent Forum in San Diego on Aug. 17-18 to hire engineers with master's and doctorate degrees in the fields of mobility, connectivity and new materials, Hyundai Motor Group said in a statement.

In the past seven years, the group has held the annual recruiting forum in San Diego to beef up its workforce with overseas talents, a company spokesman said.

Applicants in the forum are required to make a briefing on their study results and discuss them with competitors in Hyundai Motor's sessions, such as autonomous driving, connected cars and environment friendly vehicles. Prospective employees wanting to be hired by Hyundai Mobis' needs to be versed on intelligent vehicle and core auto parts-related technologies with Hyundai Steel focusing on next-generation steelmaking technologies and new materials.

The winner of these sessions will be deemed as being qualified to work at the Korean automotive group, the business group said. (Yonhap)
