Chinese companies “minus Korean technologists” are moving from LCDs and semiconductors to OLED (organic light emitting diode), recently called a premium display. ▶ Hankyung.com Dec 5 ‘Providing a company house for 100 million won salary … See’ Chinese companies drawing labor from Samsung and LG ‘
This is because Chinese companies are well aware that the quickest way to catch up with the technology gap with the world’s leading OLED companies is by “cutting manpower.” In the 2000s, Chinese display companies like BOE developed their skills through mergers and acquisitions of Korean companies and the hiring of Korean staff on a large scale. As a result, it surpassed Samsung Display and LG Display in 2018, and ranked first in the world in the field of large LCD screens. It is to use the strategy used in LCD as in OLED.
Recently, at the request of a Chinese company, I asked two scouts who are hiring OLED engineers on the phone about the situation. They confessed that “Chinese companies want people to work in large companies such as Samsung, LG or primary suppliers” and said: “However, it is not easy to search for key personnel from large domestic companies in China as requested by Chinese companies.”
Regarding the specifications of the workforce moving to China, he explained: “People who are disappointed in Korean companies and organizations, people who have been kicked out of corporate politics, and people who want to send their children to international schools they often move to China. “
Regarding job stability, “I have hired for 5 years, but some people returned to Korea after receiving a contract termination notice after 1 year due to Corona 19.” “There are a lot of people being thrown out of the bay,” he said.
Below is the full interview. The headhunters said, “It is a shame to destroy the careers and experiences of those who can continue to work long enough,” and said they did not want to wear sunglasses for head-hunting work.
▶ Recently, there are many advertisements to hire OLED experts from Chinese companies.
A: “It is similar to the previous LCD and semiconductor.”
▶ How do you connect with local Chinese businesses?
B: “The company doesn’t do it directly. Chinese headhunters contact us.”
▶ What kind of workforce do you want?
A: “We want a world-class workforce, but there aren’t many people we can contact.”
B: “What I have been asked for is an ‘unconditional incumbent job’. OLED technologies like this change rapidly. Retirees, those who have retired a few years ago, now have very little use in China. There should be something better than Chinese. Do it. “
▶ Isn’t it cumbersome to introduce it to a Chinese company?
ANSWER: “In Korea, people who have lost value can be treated as high-quality workforce in China. It is a pity to destroy the careers and experiences of older people.”
B: “I don’t want Koreans unconditionally. If you are looking for it, include Korea.”
▶ When it comes to OLED and semiconductors, you’ll still want Korean workers.
B: “That is correct.”
▶ Isn’t your gaze heavy?
A: “People who are not working in Korea, we also brought engineers from Japan before. It’s similar.”

▶ Are there any concerns about technology leakage?
A: “A few years ago, there was a high demand for electric vehicle battery technicians. But the real core workforce in Korea was not going to go away.”
▶ Usually some people gossip.
A: “People who retire from large corporations and can no longer get a job are older people.”
B: “In my case, I’m from a big company. I get a salary that I can’t get here, but not many times. People who are disappointed in their organization leave.”
▶ Are you the ones who have been expelled from the promotion or are you?
B: “Yes. For example, I made a mistake while working, but the company does not protect me. There were some people who were disappointed with this and said, ‘I’d rather go to China than be sorry.’
▶ It would be unusual to meet such people.
B: “I don’t think they are even the engineers, but they all have internal politics. Those who have been pushed down the wrong line, these people prepare for a job change. They also prepare carefully. Because they know, if you change jobs. I work and you fail, “It’s Nakdong River Duck Egg ‘”.
▶ Some people go out for their children’s education.
B: “There is something like this because of the children. I want to send an international school, but it is impossible in Korea. But if I go to China, I can send an international school. We support tuition and all these things. All foreign students who come to Korea also pays the international school tuition. I’ll apply. It’s the same. “
▶ About Daewoo.
A: “In the past, I paid three times and five times the annual salary I received. Then it trembles. Recently, it doesn’t seem like it was before. A general engineer adds 50% to the annual salary he received if I give a lot.”
▶ In a recent announcement, he suggested that he pay more than 100 million won.
A: “Actually, it is not a monthly salary. It is a salary concept. Of course, there are other supports as well.”
▶ Less than known. (The CEO of an IT affiliate of the four major groups that I recently met with a reporter told me that Chinese companies offer 10 times the annual salary to high-level Korean workers.)
A: “Actually, we don’t have access to first-rate technicians.
▶ Why is the salary level lower than in the past?
A: “I don’t know about OLED, but in the case of LCD, a lot of technology came out from Chinese companies. In the past, when it took battery labor, I would pick all of LG Chem and Samsung SDI at random. Now I don’t choose to the right person”. “
B: “4-5 years ago, I offered 4x 5x annual salary. But Chinese companies are not stupid. I started looking at cost performance.”

▶ Are there companies that Chinese companies want?
A: “Of course it is Samsung LG. For example, you can increase process performance or significantly reduce cost, or you need advanced technology like that. Or you criticize Samsung LG’s first supplier. Usually I ask you to proceed in secret. It’s not easy to get in touch with those people. “
▶ Are you satisfied with those who have gone there?
A: “There are a lot of people who are not funny.”
▶ The reason
A: “There are many cases where the annual salary is not given, unlike the first time I said, and it seems that I am sending it in the middle if I do not have the ability to take it out after taking it for 2-3 years” .
▶ Do Chinese companies direct Korean executives?
B: “Not necessarily. It’s like ‘torture’. Instead, it’s on the condition that there is no retirement age.”
▶ Does Corona 19 have an effect on job change?
A: “Around me, there are people who signed a five-year contract and left after one year. They said the contract was terminated due to Corona 19. Gyeonggi province was bad and said they couldn’t afford to use high-quality human resources. “
B: “Regarding the semiconductor side, Korea is an advanced country. I decided to move to the semiconductor side at the end of last year, but there is a problem that was celebrated earlier this year because of Corona 19. Also, there is some people unable to get out due to a ‘technology leak’ in Korea when lawsuits are reported. “
