The eligibility criteria for barista applicants are anyone aged 18 or older who has a strong interest and passion for coffee and customer service, regardless of education, age, or gender. However, as a mandatory requirement for food service workers, applicants must possess a health check-up certificate (health certificate).

The available working hour options are ▲ 25 hours per week working 5 hours a day (including weekends) ▲ 15 hours per week working 3 hours a day (including weekends) ▲ 16 hours per week working 8 hours a day (weekends only). Applicants can choose according to their needs.

In this second half barista open recruitment, Starbucks will hire foreign baristas for the first time in the industry. The foreign barista open recruitment is part of Starbucks’ pursuit of ‘non-discriminatory open hiring,’ and Starbucks plans to continue hiring foreign baristas steadily in the future.

However, foreign applicants must have a valid residence status that allows them to work according to the Immigration Control Act. Additionally, those who hold TOPIK level 3 or higher certification, administered by the National Institute for International Education, will be given preference during hiring.

The second half barista open recruitment will go through document screening and interviews, and the final successful applicants are expected to work at over 1,800 stores nationwide after the 23rd of next month.

Detailed information about the second half barista open recruitment, including salary and benefits, and application submission can be found on the Shinsegae Group recruitment website.
