Smilegate has officially kicked off the fifth iteration of 'Smile Connector,' a career exploration programme designed to polish the company's recruitment branding.

Smilegate announced on the 14th that the launch ceremony for the 5th Smile Connector cohort has taken place, marking the beginning of a six-month tenure. These content editors are tasked with crafting various materials that highlight the company's organisational culture and hiring news. By doing so, the Smile Connector initiative aims to bolster group recruitment branding and elevate the company's appeal to prospective talent. The content produced by the Smile Connector will be shared across official blog and Instagram channels.

Throughout their six-month stint, the 5th cohort participants will not only be busy creating content but also fostering teamwork through monthly offline meetups. The programme includes specialist lectures from Smilegate staff and one-on-one mentoring sessions. It serves as a practical gateway for participants to sharpen their industry skills, deepen their understanding of the gaming sector, and explore potential career paths. Smilegate plans to award top performers upon completion and offer them internship opportunities.

A Smilegate official stated, "We sincerely appreciate the overwhelming interest and participation in the 5th Smile Connector recruitment," adding, "The Smile Connector will go beyond merely delivering hiring data; the participants will focus on creating meaningful content that widens the touchpoints between the company and candidates from the applicant's perspective."
