Talent Attraction and Retention
Talent Management
"Talent" has always been a critical factor in the arena of corporate competition. In the face of an ever-changing market and mounting challenges, businesses have to be able to respond promptly and operate in accordance with its organizational strategies and development in order to attract suitable talents. ChipMOS has actively kept up with the latest trends in human resources so that it is always in a position to adjust its strategies whenever necessary in order to maintain abundant human resource capitals for the organization. Due to the slow growth of the global semi-conductor industry in 2022, the demand for human resources from the sector has also gradually waned. And as such, ChipMOS has promptly reviewed its manpower and adjusted its recruitment strategy to limit hiring to crucial positions so as to accommodate the need for talents in future deployments.
In preparation for long-term human resource capital, the Company continues to offer a variety of recruitment channels, including job bank, ChipMOS website, employment service center, employee recommendations, R&D Substitute Military Service and so forth. By actively building connections with high performing individuals from all industries, we can better focus our recruitment efforts to find suitable talents.
Cultivation in Campus and Recruitment for Young Students
ChipMOS has always been committed to academic research and technological innovation in the field of semiconductor packaging and testing over the years. By insisting on our primary intention of cultivating outstanding talent, with the exchange of academic technologies and industrial practice, students experience the real workplace before entering the society so that they could better understand relevant trends in the sector while vindicating to what they've learned in school, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the workplace and giving them greater room to pursue their dreams. Furthermore, it promotes the concept of corporate culture and job vacancies, and encouraged young students to accept the embrace of the semiconductor industry.
Beginning in 2013, ChipMOS has embarked on a continuous collaboration with the Mechanical Engineering Department at Chung Yuan Christian University, focusing on a semiconductor program. This partnership was further expanded in 2022 to include Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology and Kun Shan University. By bringing in lecturers from the industry to teach in these institutions, ChipMOS is providing the younger generation with valuable exposure to the semiconductor industry from a technical standpoint. This initiative aligns with their commitment to fostering industry-academia collaborations and upholding social responsibility. In particular, the Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, equipped with machines donated by ChipMOS, offers a comprehensive and rich curriculum. In addition to offering classes on professional theory, they have also designed practical courses on machine operation. With the guidance of industry experts, students have the opportunity to operate these machines themselves. We have also arranged field visits for students at ChipMOS’ facilities to allow them to actually see the operations at our production lines and the company environment. Such exposure helps students to smooth out the transition from school to employment and provide opportunities for them to apply the knowledge they have learned.
