The Galeries Lafayette group has announced the recruitment of 700 employees. The group is opening two new stores in Paris: a Gallerie Lafayette store on the Champs-Élysées on the former location of the Virgin Megastore closed in 2013, and the first store in Paris of the brand Eataly. For these two stores, the group launched a recruitment campaign in September. In addition to salespeople, the group is recruiting for the first time on new jobs in the food and beverage activities. For the Champs-Elysées store, which will open in March 2019, the group is hiring 400 employees, including 300 for sales and 100 for inventory management. Recruitment will be through conventional channels but also via social networks including Instagram. For the Eataly store, which will open in the spring of 2019, the group is looking for 300 people: reception staff, waiters, cooks, divers, but also butchers, cheese makers, baristas, sommeliers, pastry chefs and pizza-makers.
