Employee Recruitment
Wafer Works recruits employees based on the Company's operational strategy and annual human resource goals, ensuring compliance with local labor laws, competitive compensation, and inclusive hiring practices. In collaboration with local government employment initiatives, the Company prioritizes the hiring of local residents and adopts various measures to increase local employment opportunities. Talent is recruited through multiple channels, including online job banks, campus recruitment, industry-academia collaboration programs, R&D substitute military service, job fairs, and employment service center job matching. These efforts strengthen the integration of academic and industrial talent, enhance Wafer Works' R&D capabilities, and provide developmental opportunities for Ph.D. professionals in academic fields, thus contributing to the training of high-level personnel. In response to Taiwan's declining birth rate and the shortage of local technical staff, the Company has also begun recruiting engineering and technical talent from overseas, expanding channels to attract multinational professionals.

In 2024, the Company launched its first “Foreign Migrant Worker Promotion Review Committee” system. Three long-serving migrant workers (each with over six years of work experience in Taiwan) were promoted and re-employed as foreign mid-level technical personnel. These individuals received training to enhance their bilingual communication skills and were assigned roles as training specialists or quality technicians responsible for mentoring and guiding other migrant workers.
- Foreign Professionals (Former Migrant Workers): Wafer Works continues to rehire outstanding migrant workers who have completed 12 years of service with the Company under the status of general foreign professionals.

Through an inclusive and accessible promotion system, the Company strengthens the stability of multinational talent and fosters a competitive and sustainable working environment.
