Cotton On launches group retail careers website

Whether a head office, distribution centre, retail management or casual position is of interest, the global careers site serves as a portal for an array of continuous development programmes, dedicated to honing employee skills and allowing members of the group to reach their personal and professional potential.

"We wanted to create a platform that provided people with a sense of just how exciting a career with the group is and highlight the diversity of roles available," said South African country manager, Johan Van Wyk. "It now operates in 16 countries, so the professional growth opportunities are endless."

A feature on the site are 'Day in the Life' videos, which are short, informative video clips of current employees across the world sharing their personal experience working for the company. In addition, the careers site offers detailed information on extended employee programmes such as Uni, which is dedicated to the development opportunities for employees through interactive forums and on-the-job training. The site also highlights specific employee roles within group and what they have to offer.

The South African recruitment manager, Helena Mentz commented, "We believe that the opportunities are endless and we created this platform to showcase our unique offering and the benefits that are available. With the group's rapid international growth, our career site helps us attract people who are passionate about our brands, fun and committed to represent the group in the best way possible."

Since opening its first store in 1991 in Australia, the group has over 1100 stores in more than 16 countries and continues to reach more people across the globe. In addition to its apparel brands, it created Typo, a brand delivering all things fun and creative from quirky stationary to unique decor products.
