Frequently Asked Questions

What impact can I make in my role?

In a management role at HORNBACH, you make a real difference. You won't be in the background, but in the middle of the store, among your team and our customers. You are visible and approachable and contribute directly to how the day unfolds in a branch. You motivate and develop colleagues, ensure that tasks run smoothly, and foster a culture where colleagues perform at their best. This increases customer satisfaction, strengthens teamwork on the shop floor, and contributes to the overall success of the branch. Moreover, you will see the results of your work reflected in the atmosphere, performance, and growth of your team. Your impact is therefore significant!

How will I be onboarded and guided during the initial period?

You will be thoroughly onboarded. No quick handover, but a clear start where you learn how we work at HORNBACH, on the floor and behind the scenes. During your onboarding period, you will have time to get to know the branch, colleagues, and our working methods well. You will be guided by experienced colleagues and (depending on your role) your manager.

For Team Leaders and Business Managers: you will quickly start with the HORNBACH leadership program called 'Bricks'. This is a training program that provides you with tools to be successful in your role, even if you already have experience as a leader.

What growth opportunities are there within HORNBACH?

HORNBACH likes to invest in managers who want to keep growing. This can be by growing into another department (e.g., from Sales to Service & Checkout), or a more senior role. You will also continue to develop in terms of content, for example in leadership, commercial skills, or process improvement. Many managers build their careers step by step with us. We are an organization that thinks about the long term and sees and utilizes ambition.
