LOTTE Group announced on the 2nd that it will start 'predictable rolling recruitment'.

Starting on the 3rd, this recruitment will involve 14 subsidiaries, including LOTTE Wellfood, LOTTE GRS, LOTTE Innovate, and LOTTE Duty-Free Shop, recruiting new employees for over 30 positions in sales management, AI, design, and more.

Six subsidiaries, including LOTTE Department Store, LOTTE Hotel, and LOTTE World, will select new employees through a practical-centered method called 'IM'. The IM method was introduced in June of last year to select practical talent and evaluates candidates based on their practical performance capabilities and job vision.

The process differs from a general method as it begins by evaluating portfolios that include relevant experiences and skills related to the job, followed by a field audition to verify job capabilities.

LOTTE will focus on reviewing relevant competencies in the evaluation process to identify immersive talent with job expertise starting from this IM method. It will verify whether the candidates' attitudes towards their job areas and the distinct values created during problem-solving processes.

This is to secure talent that can expand a passion for specific areas into their careers. LOTTE plans to apply these evaluation criteria to future experienced recruitment, aiming to secure talent that can create new achievements based on their unique competitive edge.

LOTTE has also expanded the positions selected through the IM method. Last year, it applied to fields with high practical competency such as R&D, data, and design, but this year it has added roles in sales, MD (merchandiser), and customer service.

According to LOTTE Group, the expansion of the recruitment scope through the IM method is aligned with the 'job-based HR system' that the group has been implementing since last year.

The job-based HR system aims to strengthen the competencies and expertise required by job roles based on a performance system by work type, with the goal of creating innovative outcomes and securing new growth engines. Currently, 8 subsidiaries, including LOTTE Innovate, Daehong Communications, and LOTTE Department Store, are in operation, and 28 subsidiaries are preparing to implement the system this year.

A LOTTE Group official noted, "In line with the group's desired talent profile and changes in the HR system, we have begun recruiting immersive talent that can leverage individual interests in their work to create synergies," adding, "We plan to continuously strengthen the core competitiveness of the corporations based on the recruitment of passionate and skilled talents going forward."
