Ask for a referral to SK hynix

A referral only means something if the person giving it can actually speak to your work. I will refer you where I know someone on the inside and your profile genuinely fits the role, and I will tell you plainly when I cannot. Either way you get an answer, and a straight one.

  • I read every request. A reply takes a few days, sometimes longer.
  • I will not refer someone for a role their profile does not fit. It wastes your time and costs me the contact.
  • Where I cannot refer you, I will say why, and point you at the way in that does work.
  • Nothing you send here is shared with anyone without you agreeing to it first.

If you found the opening, paste it. It tells me which team you mean.

A Drive, Dropbox or personal-site link is fine. Make sure it opens without a request for access, or I cannot read it.

At least a short paragraph. This is what I would be putting my name behind, so specifics beat adjectives.

Comma separated, up to six. Things you would be happy to be tested on.

How they hire

This is the group-wide new graduate route, which covers IT and software alongside R&D and manufacturing roles. The posting does not mention a coding test.

  1. 1

    Document screening

    Official
    Application screen

    Academic background and major-related ability are reviewed for fit with the chosen field.

  2. 2

    SKCT

    Official
    Aptitude or cognitive testRemote

    The SK group’s online aptitude test, measuring job-related reasoning, situational judgement and values. A score from the last four months can be reused.

  3. 3

    A!SK video interview

    Official
    Recruiter screenRemote

    A remote video interview, taken in the same window as the SKCT, looking at values, problem solving and understanding of the job.

  4. 4

    Interview

    Official
    Panel interview

    A conversational interview checking values, personality and the level of your skills.

What comes up

Recurring themes from candidate accounts, not a question bank. Nobody is served by leaked question lists, least of all you in the interview.

  • Link to your major

    Official

    Screening weighs how closely your studies match the field you apply to, so the application should make that link plain.

  • Values and judgement

    Official

    Both the SKCT and the A!SK video interview test values and situational judgement alongside ability.

Hacker101

Hacker101 is HackerOne's free web security training hub, combining video lessons with a hands-on capture-the-flag exercise, aimed at both programmers curious about bug bounty work and more experienced security professionals. It is entirely free with no account paywall, and pairs naturally with reading HackerOne's own vulnerability disclosure guidelines before attempting any real-world bug bounty programme. Bugcrowd runs a similarly free alternative, Bugcrowd University, worth knowing about even though this entry focuses on Hacker101.

What it pays

Nothing collected for this company yet, and nothing worth guessing at. A made-up range is worse than no range because people negotiate against it.

Add to the SK hynix page

This library is only as good as what people who have been through it are willing to share. Most of these companies have no hiring process documented anywhere, and one account of what the rounds actually were is worth more than anything I can research from the outside.

What are you adding?

This decides how the claim is labelled on the page. Only someone representing the company can produce an “official” label, and I check that separately.

Year and month.

Comma separated topics, not the questions themselves.

Round by round is ideal: what each one was, how long, remote or in person, and what it covered.

Credit

Anonymous is the default. If you keep it anonymous, nothing identifying you reaches the page: it is published as a candidate account and your name stays with me. Never send anything covered by an NDA, and never send a take-home or a question paper.

Universities they recruit from

No sourced university links yet. A campus drive, a career fair appearance or an internship partnership is what puts a university here.

How to actually get seen

SK hynix recruits in fixed seasonal windows through SK Careers. Taking the SKCT seriously matters, because a recent score carries over to other SK applications.

Want me to refer you here?

Send me the role, your CV and a few honest paragraphs on why you fit it. Where I know someone inside and your profile matches, I will make the introduction. Where I cannot, I will tell you why and point you at the route that does work. You get an answer either way.
