The purpose

bpost is always on the move. We create an environment for our people with challenging projects, inspiring collaborations and the latest technologies, with interesting job opportunities and training programmes for everyone.

The Talent Acquisition team deals with 3 things, Recruit, Redeploy and Reorganize:

Recruit: processing, screening and selecting candidates at all different levels and in different fields. We get our candidates through different initiatives such as Bring a Friend, but also through publications on different job boards, collaboration with head hunters and looking for the suitable candidate ourselves through channels such as Linkedin.

Redeploy: as a socially responsible employer, bpost considers it important to prepare people for the labor market of the future. The TA team will therefore perform selections for people with a distance to the labor market, but will also support selections for internal development programs to give people the opportunity to grow, obtain a diploma, etc.

Reorganize: when internal candidates are told that a reorganization will take place, it is our job to first of all perform the selections regarding the positions that will be retained in the new structure. In addition, the TA team, in collaboration with TMC's labor consultants will follow up with the candidate from the time of announcement to placement in a new position within the organization.
