Hyundai Assessment Tests

Careers at Hyundai

Hyundai employs around 75,000 people worldwide, including mechanical, automobile and electrical engineers, as well as corporate and business roles across numerous departments.

Hyundai also owns an 80% share of US robotics firm, Boston Dynamics, demonstrating its expansion through ‘imaginative design, cutting-edge technology and an exciting new product pipeline’.

Hyundai is therefore recruiting across the spectrum – making it a manufacturing and design business that’s exciting to work at, bringing to market new and innovative solutions.

The Hyundai application process varies depending on the role for which you have applied and also the country in which you are applying, but in general you can expect to complete the following stages during the application process.

The process is similar for internships, graduate roles and experienced candidates.

Online application

All Hyundai applications start with an online application, which asks for basic details alongside work experience and academic qualifications. You will be asked to create a candidate profile, to which you can then attach the relevant application documents.

Hyundai Aptitude Tests

All candidates who pass the initial screening of the online application process will be invited to carry out a series of online tests, which use AI to assess a candidate’s aptitudes. Each candidate will receive feedback on the outcome of the online tests.

Hyundai quantitative aptitude test

The quantitative aptitude test is similar to a numerical reasoning test; it looks at your ability to interpret, analyse and draw conclusions from sets of data.

Hyundai verbal ability test

The verbal ability test assesses how well you comprehend and interpret written information, and whether you can draw logical inferences from it.

Hyundai technical ability test

This will depend on the role applied for, as technical ability is examined in relation to the requirements of the role. If it’s an engineering position, for example, candidates will face technical questions in line with expectations of a base level of knowledge to carry out the work required.

Hyundai interviews

Successful candidates will then be called to attend an interview, with a further interview taking place for those that do well in the first. The interviews may be in person or may be via video call, depending on the role, location and circumstance.

All candidates receive feedback.

Hyundai first interview

The first interview is the one most likely to be via video call. In this interview the candidate will be asked to prepare a short presentation on a specific topic.

There will then be a Q&A to follow, and candidates should be well prepared to answer questions related to their presentation and also their career desires and motivations in applying to Hyundai.

Candidates should bear in mind the role to which they have applied, as well as Hyundai’s mission to recruit individuals who share their passion for achieving new possibilities through continuous innovation and creativity.

Hyundai second interview

The second interview is more likely to be in person and is a group exercise, in which you must work within a group to conduct a specified task or assignment.

Each stage of the process will be assessed, from planning, to how the candidates work together and lead each other, how they individually carry out a collective task, discuss solutions and then how they prepare and submit the presentation.

This is followed by a Q&A to discuss the individual candidate’s performance.
