Description
ALDI, one of the major discount supermarket chains in Poland, aims to hire 200 employees for its distribution center in Bydgoszcz.

The job offer is for both line and managerial positions. With the usage of augmented reality, QR codes, and VOICEbot technology, the recruitment process is set to take an innovative approach in the retail industry. As a result, candidates will be able to call and apply for the post seven days a week.
