Some positions aren’t just appealing. They’re premium…
Since being founded in 1834, Harrods has gone on to become a UK institution, not to mention help set the bar for quality service worldwide.
Its famous London store occupies five acres, is made up of over 330 individual departments, and operates over one million square feet of selling space. They even sell solid gold. You know, if you like that kind of thing.
As you might expect, with over 300,000 people passing through their doors every single day, Harrods’ recruitment is always ongoing. Which is why it’s looking to add to the 12,000 staff that already call the department store home.
So if you’re in HR, Engineering, Retail or Security, and you’re ready to take the next step in your career, why take the stairs when you could be taking a multi-million pound escalator?
