Germany's Adidas to hire 2,800 employees in 2022

The majority of the new employees, more than 900 people, will be deployed in the Adidas retail stores. Europe’s largest sporting goods manufacturer is filling more than 500 positions in the areas of digital, IT and data and analytics. And Adidas is also continuing to hire in the area of sustainability, having already doubled the number of jobs in this area last year. In addition, Adidas is awarding more than 50 positions for apprenticeships or dual studies in Germany starting this fall. In total, Adidas employs around 62,000 people, of which around 7,700 are in Germany. Around 5,300 employees work at the company headquarters in Herzogenaurach, the company said in a press release.

Adidas regularly ranks among the most popular employers worldwide. Out of 750 companies included in Forbes magazine’s list of best employers in October 2021, Adidas was among the top 20. In Germany, Adidas even came second in a recent survey by the magazine “stern” and the market research institute Statista in the search for Germany’s 650 best employers. Adidas receives more than one million applications each year via its career portal.

“We want to set standards as an employer. Adidas is an employer like no other, and we go above and beyond every day to create an attractive working environment for our employees. Adidas is fantastic, and I can only encourage those interested to apply,” Adidas executive board member, responsible for human resources, people and culture, Amanda Rajkumar said in a statement.
