Lotte Group is stepping up efforts to recruit skilled workers in Indonesia, one of its key overseas markets.

The group said on the 9th that it is holding the 2026 Lotte Global Job Fair in Jakarta the same day. Nine affiliates with operations in the country are taking part, including Lotte Chemical (011170), Lotte Department Store, Lotte Mart and Lotte Global Logistics.

At the event, Lotte will introduce the group and its main affiliates to about 600 Indonesian job seekers. Current employees will offer recruitment consultations and conduct mock interviews.

Lotte entered Indonesia in 2008 with Lotte Mart and now has 12 affiliates there across retail, chemicals, logistics and information technology. Local revenue topped 2 trillion won ($1.4 billion) last year, and the workforce in the country stands at 8,000. The group plans to hire 300 more people by the end of this year.

"The global job fair is a program designed so that local job seekers can look at the businesses and job functions of multiple Lotte affiliates in one place and communicate directly with current employees," a Lotte official said. "We will continue to broaden our points of contact with outstanding global talent who can grow together with Lotte through various recruitment activities, including visits to local universities."
