Asda has launched a new corporate careers website, www.asda.jobs, which includes an online application process for management jobs.

The management application process involves two online screening processes, one to see if candidates have the right experience and another to see if they have the right cultural fit of the supermarket, before an interview or assessment day.

Resourcing manager Judith Colbert says: “It takes about 45 minutes to apply. It is quiet an in-depth process but not so detailed that candidates feel they are online forever.

“If the candidate doesn’t quite fit the level of experience we are looking for we prompt them to go back to the vacant jobs section.”
Colbert says the next challenge is to extend e-recruitment to the shop floor and is already working with Jobcentre Plus on some ideas.
