BAT Rothmans launches recruitment drive

BAT Rothmans, the Korean affiliate of global tobacco giant British American Tobacco (BAT), announced Thursday that it has opened applications for entry-level positions and begun recruitment for the second half of 2025.

The company is hiring for three departments. Its Seoul headquarters will be hiring people in finance, while its Sacheon manufacturing plant in South Gyeongsang Province is looking for people to work in production management and finance.

University seniors and recent graduates with less than two years of work experience and a bachelor's degree or higher are eligible to apply. Applications are open through Sept. 30 via the BAT Rothmans recruitment website.

The hiring process consists of a document review and phone interview, followed by three rounds of in-person interviews: an initial interview, a competency-based assessment and a final interview with senior executives. Successful candidates are expected to begin in December.

Selected candidates will also have the opportunity to join BAT Group’s Global Graduate Program (GGP), a leadership development initiative designed to cultivate the company’s next generation of leaders.

Once hired, in the first 18 months, participants will complete three job rotations, receive intensive leadership and functional training and take part in a two-week global training session at BAT’s headquarters in London. Upon completion, they may be fast-tracked into managerial roles.
