Aldi has launched a massive recruitment drive to fill hundreds of vacancies across Ireland.
Dubbed “Ireland’s best-paying supermarket” the chain has initiated a recruitment drive to fill over 360 vacancies across the retailers’ 156-store network in Ireland, including 99 vacancies in the capital. The company is recruiting for store assistants including 73 permanent positions and 26 fixed-term contract positions in its Dublin stores.
Recruitment has begun for the roles, which are a mix of existing and newly created vacancies, with Aldi keen to fill all positions as soon as possible as the company continues to open new stores and sees an increase in customer demand ahead of the busy summer period.

Aldi is not new to launching a major recruitment campaign. In recent months Aldi has announced over 810 new jobs.
The supermarket chain says that existing vacancies, as well as an increase in store openings in Dublin, are driving the demand for new recruits in the county.
The drive comes as Aldi opened a new store in Adamstown earlier this month, and its new Cabra store is due to open next week.
The pay for some of the rolls is pretty decent as well, with Aldi paying above the leading market entry rate for shop assistants.
In February 2023, Aldi increased its hourly pay rates for store colleagues, maintaining its position as Ireland’s best-paying supermarket. Aldi pays all store assistants up to €16 an hour, with a market-leading entry rate of €13.85 an hour.
Welcoming the recruitment drive, Donald Mackay, Regional Managing Director said: “Aldi’s focus remains firmly on providing great value for our customers, people and the communities in which we operate.
“Across our 156 stores, and 25 in Dublin, we are delivering for customers at a time when household expenses and value have never been more important.”
