Lotte Group to Hire Hundreds of New Employees... Implements "Spec-Free" I'M Recruitment Process

Twelve Affiliates Including Lotte Mart, Engineering & Construction, and World Join Recruitment
Over 20 Positions Open for New Hires
"Lotte Job Cafe" to Be Held in Seoul and Busan
Special Lectures on Interviews and Self-Introduction Letters

Lotte Group announced on June 1 that it will begin "predictable rolling recruitment" starting from June 2.

Twelve affiliates, including Lotte Mart & Super, Lotte Engineering & Construction, Lotte World, Daehong Communications, and Lotte Himart, will participate. The group will recruit new employees for more than 20 positions, including merchandising (MD), business support, and marketing. The total number of hires will be in the triple digits.

Applications can be submitted through the Lotte Group recruitment website, where candidates can also check the detailed schedules and eligibility criteria for each affiliate.

Lotte Mart & Super, Lotte Himart, and Fujifilm Korea will implement the "I'M (I'm Mania) recruitment process," which focuses on practical work skills. This process excludes so-called "specs" such as GPA and language test scores from evaluation, instead assessing candidates' practical work competency and vision through job-related portfolios and on-site auditions.

In line with the recruitment schedule, Lotte will also host the "2026 First Half Lotte Job Cafe." The event will be held on June 2 in Seoul and on June 5 in Busan. The Lotte Job Cafe is a recruitment branding event held every June and December, featuring recruitment consultations and presentations on the group’s vision and growth strategies.

This event will include special lectures on writing self-introduction letters, aptitude tests, and interview techniques. Every participant will receive a "Recruitment Archiving Book" containing testimonials from Lotte’s new employee interviews. In addition, recruitment managers and current employees from major affiliates such as Lotte Department Store, Lotte Fine Chemical, Lotte Engineering & Construction, and Lotte Hotel will provide one-on-one consultations.

A Lotte representative stated, "We are supporting job seekers in planning their careers through predictable rolling recruitment and the Job Cafe," adding, "We will continue to improve our recruitment system and career support programs going forward."
