To work at Hipercor, you need to check the opportunities listed by Grupo El Corte Inglés, which owns the Hipercor hypermarkets. The group’s platform brings together vacancies from different businesses, so check that each vacancy is for a hypermarket or a role that interests you.
This guide explains how to search for current recruitment processes, what roles are available in large stores, how to tailor your CV and why it is important to check the location, working hours and hiring company.
Official channel: El Corte Inglés Group has its own careers portal for experienced professionals, students, recent graduates and seasonal campaigns. Not all vacancies on the portal are for Hipercor.

Official careers portal for jobs at Hipercor

Kurriku provides general information. It is not part of Hipercor, does not represent its recruitment department and cannot accept CVs on its behalf.
What jobs does Hipercor offer?
The company operates across different areas, so it is worth choosing one before applying. The following are types of roles related to its business, not a list of vacancies currently open:
- Checkout and customer service: taking payments, providing information and helping customers.
- Shelf replenishment and warehouse: organising, stocking, inventory and handling goods.
- Fresh food and groceries: specialist roles such as butchery, fishmongery or bakery, depending on the store.
- Commercial management: coordinating departments and teams.
- Logistics and corporate services: Group roles that may be advertised on the same portal but are not based in the hypermarket.
Requirements for working at Hipercor
Each advert sets out its own conditions. Pay particular attention to:
- Select the store and location: a Group role may not be with Hipercor.
- Check the shifts, weekend work and hours before applying.
- Highlight customer service or food retail experience if you genuinely have it.
- For specialist roles, check which certificates, food safety knowledge and training are required.
- For coordination roles, explain your experience managing teams and meeting targets.
Do not assume that requirements for all roles include those that apply only to a technical department, a particular recruitment campaign or an old vacancy. If there is any discrepancy, the employer’s documentation takes precedence.
Can you work at Hipercor without experience?
Hypermarkets may hire entry-level staff for checkout, shelf replenishment and sales roles when a vacancy allows. The Group also offers specific opportunities for students and recent graduates, though not all are with Hipercor. Experience and mandatory training depend on the vacancy.
For a first job, it can help to describe placements, training projects, volunteering, languages and transferable skills. Explain what you actually did and do not fill gaps in your CV with invented details.
Hipercor and El Corte Inglés: how to identify the right vacancy
Recruitment is handled within El Corte Inglés Group and may cover department stores, logistics, corporate services and other businesses. Before applying, check the vacancy title, store, city and employing entity.
If you are specifically looking for a hypermarket role, prioritise adverts describing food retail or in-store duties, and confirm the location in the details rather than relying on the portal’s generic title.
Customer service, checkout and food departments
These roles call for good listening skills, checkout operation, shelf replenishment and teamwork. Duties and requirements in fresh food departments can vary considerably from one section to another.
Include specific duties on your CV: checkout operation, closing procedures, shelf replenishment, food handling, stocktaking or counter service. Do not claim technical skills or licences you do not have.
Christmas and summer campaigns
The Group’s portal offers routes for seasonal campaigns when they are active. Seasonal employment can be a useful way to gain experience, but it does not guarantee ongoing work.
Check the start and end dates, shifts and number of hours. If you need to fit work around your studies, state only the availability you can genuinely commit to.
Pay and working conditions at Hipercor
There is no single salary that applies to every Hipercor role. Pay depends on the job category, hours, store, contract, collective agreement and supplements. The Group’s portal mentions training opportunities and discounts under certain conditions, but you should check the specific benefits in the vacancy details or during recruitment.
When comparing two offers, also consider travel, working hours, contract type, number of hours, additional payments, health and safety, and training opportunities. The salary for another city or company is no substitute for the written offer you receive.
How to prepare an application for Hipercor
To make your application clearer, these steps can help you avoid common mistakes:
- Visit the Group’s portal and filter vacancies by location and area.
- Check that the role is with the type of establishment you are looking for.
- Describe your experience in checkout, fresh food or shelf replenishment specifically.
- Be clear about your shift preferences and availability without promising hours you cannot work.
- Review the vacancy before uploading your CV and save the application reference.
If you can provide additional information, you could write a brief cover letter stating the role you are looking for, your availability and the strengths you can demonstrate. Avoid simply repeating your entire CV.
