ALDI Ireland On Recruitment Drive To Fill 450 Vacancies

ALDI Ireland has initiated a recruitment drive to fill 450 vacancies across the retailer’s 153-store network in Ireland.

The company noted that it is recruiting for store assistants, including 330 permanent positions and 120 fixed-term contract positions.

Recruitment has begun, and ALDI is keen to fill all positions as soon as possible, as the company continues to open new stores and sees an increase in customer demand across its existing store network, while the retailer prepares for the busy Christmas period.

Welcoming the recruitment drive, Niall O’Connor, group managing director, ALDI Ireland, said, “We have a dedicated and talented team of 4,650 people across our 153 stores who support the business in delivering for our customers each and every day. We are always looking for talented, hard-working and committed people to join the ALDI family, as we continue to grow and develop the business in Ireland.

“We’re keen to fill these 450 positions quickly, as our stores are busier than ever, and as we approach the Christmas period. We look forward to welcoming new people to our team who will join a company committed to its customers and our value promise, which has never been more relevant or important than in these challenging economic times.”
