Description

Colruyt, one of Belgian's largest supermarket chains seeks to employ 150 new employees by the end of the year. It seeks to increase its number of butchers significantly. The goal is to make the butchers more prominent and visible to enforce the feeling of craftsmanship within the stores. The company is looking for certified butchers but it also wants to offer a development possibility to new recruits who will be allowed to combine regular work in the stores while training for certification.
