LIDL TO HIRE MORE THAN 1,000 WORKERS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, LIST OF CITIES ANNOUNCED

Lidl Bosnia and Herzegovina has launched its largest recruitment drive to date as the company continues to build its workforce ahead of the long-awaited opening of its stores across the country.

The recruitment campaign is expected to create more than 1,000 new jobs in two major waves, covering a large number of cities and municipalities throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. The process will be based on transparent selection procedures, while the company says it will continue investing in its employees and their professional development.

Lidl BiH says its goal is not only to create new jobs, but also to provide future employees with an opportunity to become part of a team building something new from the ground up, with the security and stability of an international company and long-term support for career development.

“By launching these recruitment campaigns, we have started our largest, but not our final, wave of hiring. Our goal is to add more than 1,000 new employees across Bosnia and Herzegovina to our team of 400 colleagues. We aim to build a company that will offer the best value for money, as well as a modern shopping experience. We therefore invite all motivated candidates to apply, and in respect of their time, we will provide a fast, efficient and fully transparent selection process,” said Faruk Kovač, Head of Corporate Affairs at Lidl BiH.

LOGISTICS JOBS IN LEPENICA

From August 1 to September 6, applications are open for 125 warehouse worker positions at Lidl's logistics centre in Lepenica.

With state-of-the-art logistics systems, clearly defined work processes and the latest-generation equipment, the logistics sector offers a dynamic and stimulating working environment in which women and men have equal opportunities for professional success.

MORE THAN 1,000 SALES POSITIONS

As part of the major recruitment drive in the sales sector, applications for more than 1,000 sales positions across Bosnia and Herzegovina will be open from August 15 to September 30.

The recruitment campaign will cover more than 20 cities and municipalities, including Sarajevo, Mostar, Gradiška, Modriča, Doboj, Laktaši, Banja Luka, Bihać, Gračanica, Brčko, Bijeljina, Zvornik, Zenica, Travnik, Kakanj, Livno, Čapljina, Vogošća, East Sarajevo, Kiseljak and Tešanj.

New employees in these cities will receive training, while their start dates will be coordinated with the planned opening schedule of Lidl stores.

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IS NOT REQUIRED

Thanks to Lidl's specific business model, jobs in its stores are not strictly divided into separate roles. Employees will perform a variety of tasks, including working at the checkout, assisting in the bakery, serving customers and stocking shelves.

Previous retail experience is not required. Candidates with a completed secondary education, motivation to work and a willingness to learn can apply for the positions.

The latest recruitment drive represents a significant opportunity for the domestic labour market and marks another important step in Lidl's preparations for entering the retail market of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
