Employee Recruitment And Turnover

Recruitment at MPPA is carried out openly, both offline - at all MPPA outlets throughout Indonesia to recruit local workers, via email recruitment@hypermart. co.id, and on various job search sites. Equal job opportunities are given to everyone regardless of their gender, ethnicity, race or religion. Talents who meet the requirements, with the best qualification standards, are those who have the greatest opportunity to enter and become MPPA employees.

In addition to external recruitment, MPPA also conducts internal recruitment, which is filling key positions through mutation and promotion procedures. The advantage of internal recruitment is faster adjustment to new responsibilities, because internal employees already understand the work culture and company values, while providing opportunities for outstanding employees to have a career and enrich their experience and competence. Thus, it is hoped that employee engagement with the Company can be built and maintained.
