How we hire

RECRUITING THE BEST PEOPLE

To be a leading value and discount retailer we need the best people. At STEINHOFF we want to recruit unique individuals who share our family values. We are looking for entrepreneurial, passionate and trustworthy talent to join our family and grow together.

Reasons to work at Steinhoff

1. You are an entrepreneur

To be entrepreneurial by nature is to be optimistic. People with entrepreneurial spirit do not spend time thinking about what they can not do, but instead ask themselves: "Why can not I?" Entrepreneurs are predisposed to a high tolerance for risk. But it does not mean they jump blindly into action, it is the opposite instead. Those with entrepreneurial spirit make calculated moves while understanding that there are never any guarantees of success. We look for candidates that get excited by the idea of challenges and big goals. They are the ones who will push the boundaries of what was once thought impossible.

2. You convert passion into action

Passionate people know what it's like to dive deep into a subject and completely understand it. When people are genuinely passionate about the opportunities that our companies are trying to solve, they will be energized by any challenge that stands in their way. Above all, they execute, as they realise that execution is everything when it comes down to success. We like to hire people that have the drive to execute at all times, no matter what the circumstances.

3. You want to grow with our family

The success of STEINHOFF depends on every employee in all our businesses. We have a tradition of encouraging people who have demonstrated the ability to deliver excellent results in different ways. People that are questioning why things are done the way they are and aren't afraid to go against the majority to make changes. It's impressive in an interview when a candidate has real questions for the business and suggestions and ideas on how existing products or services could be improved.
