Lotte said on Nov. 30 that it will begin "predictable year-round hiring" on Dec. 1. "Predictable year-round hiring" is Lotte's recruitment method in which affiliates with hiring plans open their application processes in March, June, September and December.
Twelve affiliates, including Lotte Biologics, LOTTE Innovate, Lotte Construction and Lotte Home Shopping, are taking part in this hiring round. The company is recruiting entry-level employees for about 30 roles, including sales, marketing and MD (merchandising planning).
Lotte Home Shopping will seek to identify talent suitable for PD roles through the "IM track," a practice-focused process. The "IM track" was introduced in June last year to select practice-oriented talent and uses on-the-job execution capability and job vision as evaluation criteria.
Unlike the general track, the "IM track" first evaluates a portfolio containing the applicant's job-related experience and capabilities, and then verifies job competencies through an on-site audition.
Timed with this hiring period, Lotte will hold the "2025 Winter LOTTE Job Café" at Lotte World Tower in Jamsil, Seoul, on the 1st and at Lotte Hotel Busan on the 4th.
In Seoul, hiring managers and current employees from 20 affiliates and 25 roles, including Lotte Department Store, LOTTE Wellfood and Lotte Chilsung, will participate, while in Busan, hiring managers and current employees from 10 affiliates and 14 roles, including the Lotte Giants, Lotte World and LOTTE GRS, will communicate with job seekers.
A Lotte official said, "By linking predictable year-round hiring with the job café, we are helping job seekers gain a deeper understanding of Lotte's work environment and design their careers," and added, "We will continue to develop this into a program that provides practical opportunities related to employment."
