The best indicator of this is the acquisition of the Employer Partner certificate for 2022, which demonstrates a strong commitment to employees and the development of excellent HR practices that Lidl has built over the years. The excellence of HR processes has been recognized by the certification team composed of independent HR experts from SELECTIO Group, who particularly praised this year’s progress in the area of recruiting new talents and training employees.
The hiring processes that have been praised since 2022 at Lidl include gathering feedback from managers and all candidates participating in the selection process. Additionally, Lidl implements new digital solutions to make the selection process as pleasant and straightforward as possible for everyone involved in that procedure.
