In conjunction with the recruitment launch, KAI Group has introduced an integrated recruitment portal via karier.kai.id.

Anne noted that the integration of the recruitment portal is part of strengthening talent management processes within the KAI Group environment. Through this single portal, she added, the public can obtain more integrated information regarding career opportunities within KAI and its subsidiaries.
“This step also supports a recruitment process that is increasingly effective, transparent, and easily accessible,” Anne continued.
