Carrefour : Spain takes on 6,000 new employees for the summer 2016 campaign

Carrefour increases its workforce by taking on 6,000 people to reinforce the peak working periods that occur during the summer. Ninety percent of those taken on will join hypermarket staff and the rest will fill positions in supermarkets and other company subsidiaries such as travel agencies, service stations and financial services. The profiles vary although the majority of applicants are young people looking for their first job and students.

The new employees will join all sectors directly related with customer service: check-outs, restocking, fresh product sales (butcher, cold cuts, fruit, bakery and fish counter) and vendor-assisted sale sections such as technology or domestic appliances, among others.

The candidates selected must be clearly sales and customer oriented, and possess the capacity to work as part of a team. The profile of the people Carrefour is hiring is very varied, although young first-time job seekers predominate. Those interested can send their CVs via www.carrefour.es/trabaja en carrefour stating the cities and stores they are interested in.

Over 4,400 new long term contracts in 2016

The company plans to offer over 4,400 new long term contracts in 2016, confirming its place as a reference company in terms of job creation in Spain. Carrefour has over 46,000 employees under its banner in Spain.

In addition, its commitment to job creation, especially among young people, will continue to be one of the retail firm's hallmarks during 2016. In 2015 alone, the company took on more than 400 university graduates and this year, it hopes to attract another 300, enabling them to pursue their careers with Carrefour as managers, middle managers or directors. For this purpose, the company has a number of agreements with universities throughout the country. Carrefour has also taken on over 60 young people with professional profiles relating to new technologies in response to the on-going digitization process.
