CU Recruiting 4th Generation Ssijunsaeng.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] CU is recruiting the 4th generation of Sijunsaeng until the 8th of next month.

According to CU on the 25th, Sijunsaeng is an abbreviation for ‘job seekers working at CU,’ a unique staff support system at CU that selects employees currently working at CU who are preparing for employment and provides them with an exemption from the document screening process when applying for a job at BGF Retail.

Those selected as Sijunsaeng will use their personal social networking services (SNS) to act as CU ambassadors by sharing their own store management know-how, introducing new products, and will also directly participate in practical activities such as CU’s metaverse content and the activation of the membership application Pocket CU.

In particular, a scholarship system has been newly established in this 4th generation to boost the motivation of Sijunsaeng participants. The top performer (1 person) will receive a scholarship of 500,000 KRW and a prize, and the top performing team (1 team) will also be awarded a scholarship of 1,000,000 KRW and a prize.

Those who complete the Sijunsaeng program will be exempt from the document screening process when applying for the sales management position (SC) in the 2022 BGF Retail new employee recruitment and will receive a commemorative gift upon completion.

Additionally, during the Sijunsaeng activity period, participants will have opportunities to join employment-related programs of BGF Retail such as interviews with current employees and attendance at recruitment briefings.

Sijunsaeng started with the 1st generation in 2020, and so far, about 30 people have been selected across three generations. Among them, except for the 3rd generation currently undergoing the recruitment process, final hires have come from the 1st and 2nd generations, who are now working as SCs at BGF Retail.

The satisfaction level of those hired through this system is also high. Kim Minju, a supervisor who joined BGF Retail through Sijunsaeng in 2020, said, “Seeing my ideas realized at CU increased my motivation to participate even more, and it was a great opportunity to learn more about the company.”

Kim Girok, head of the BGF Retail Win-Win Support Team, said, “BGF Retail ranked in the TOP 10 among university students’ preferred companies for employment in a survey conducted by a job portal site last year, showing that convenience store companies attract great interest from the MZ generation (Millennials + Generation Z). Through Sijunsaeng, employees hired have a high affection and understanding of the business, so we are positively considering expanding the system.”
