My local chain grocery store has asked us, local people, multiple times to apply as we have been shopping and slightly chatting with the staff. We have applied via the chain's systems. And yes, they expect you to send your CV and a written letter. Then you write out all the info in your CV to their forms. Then you take 5-10 videos of yourself answering their questions.
If you make through this, you get to the Second Level. There you're supposed to attend a Teams group meeting where you "fight" with random people who are also applying for the jobs, in different locations.
If you get through this, you get to the Third Level where you will be invited to another Teams meeting with one-on-one interview. If you get through this, you might get the job.
The job search is obviously not done by the local store, it's a "service" the chain buys from some other company. None of us have gotten through. The store seriously needs employees, they have the "search" constantly open and keep asking the locals to apply. The store has too little workers, it's not working properly. Shelves are unstocked, fruits rotten, staff is cranky and angry. The boss complains in local newspaper that "the locals just aren't applying for some reason!"
Seriously? They make you fight other people for the spot? At a grocery store? Massive red flag, right up front.
That would not only make me not work there, but also not shop there.
In a small town with only two grocery stores, and the other one being mad expensive premium one.. Not much of choice.
Can you show the boss the application process/complain yourself in the newspaper? Unless you don’t really care, because that’s kind of a hassle either way
I contacted two newspapers at the time, no luck.
Solution: Misdemeanor larceny!
You know they don't have full time LP.
…could this be about Netto and Edeka?
