GS Retail and BGF Retail are both launching open recruitment for new employees in the second half of the year.
GS Retail announced on the 10th that it will accept applications for new employee recruitment until the 23rd. They will hire a double-digit number of employees in two business divisions: convenience store GS25 and home shopping GS Shop. The convenience store division is recruiting for sales management, while the home shopping division is hiring for four positions: product planning, producer (PD), logistics planning, and external cooperation. The recruitment process includes document screening, artificial intelligence (AI) competency tests, first interviews, second interviews, and employment medical examinations, with final successful candidates to be announced in December.
The convenience store division will conduct on-site interviews at major regional universities in addition to the general recruitment process in the second half of the year, following the same approach as in the first half. Candidates who pass the first interview held on university campuses in Gangwon-do, Jeju, and Chungbuk will be employed in those respective regions.
On the 19th, GS Retail will operate the "Inside GS Retail" program, which offers a tour of major business sites for prospective applicants. This program, introduced for the first time, aims to enhance understanding of the company and the distribution industry and to address questions related to recruitment.
