SPAR Hungary has opened its first recruitment office, located at the SPAR Supermarket in Nyugati Square, one of Budapest’s three main railway terminals. As one of the largest employers in the country, SPAR decided to open the office in order to establish direct contact with jobseekers.

This is a unique initiative in the Hungarian retail market, allowing the business to directly and effectively reach potential employees. Two HR experts are on hand at the office in the SPAR store, ready to meet interested candidates, providing them with information and answering any questions they may have before following the formal application process or having a job interview.

If the pilot proves successful, SPAR Hungary will look at opening more of these offices around the country. As a family enterprise creating value, SPAR has long-term plans in Hungary. They are constantly opening and developing stores and are therefore always in need of trustworthy and motivated colleagues. SPAR Hungary is an attractive employer, offering a good atmosphere, predictable future and competitive wages and benefits.

SPAR Hungary is always on the lookout for shop assistants, cashiers, shelf stackers, kitchen helpers, cooks, butchers and heads of departments. The business puts a great deal of emphasis on employee training and skills development, and encourages applicants with a positive mind-set who are interested in the retail trade.

With close to 500 stores across the country, SPAR Hungary currently employs 13, 000 people.
