Mass Recruitment Draws Over 600 Megamendung and Puncak Residents to EIGER Adventure Land Selection
HUNDREDS of residents from Megamendung and nearby areas (Puncak) in Bogor Regency took part in a recruitment selection for staff at EIGER Adventure Land (EAL) yesterday. The ecotourism site located at the foot of Mount Gede Pangrango, specifically in Sukagalih Village, Megamendung, held a mass recruitment drive. More than 600 people underwent a series of psychometric tests and interview sessions. The recruitment forms part of the company’s commitment to prioritise local labour absorption and to deliver direct benefits to communities around the ecotourism site.
As explained by EIGER Adventure Land’s Chief Executive Officer, Imanuel Wirajaya, through this recruitment programme, EIGER Adventure Land aims to ensure that the development of the ecotourism area can progress in tandem with the empowerment of local communities. It provides a positive impact on the Megamendung economy, while remaining aligned with efforts to restore degraded land and conserve forest areas. He emphasised the company’s commitment to playing an active role in creating sustainable economic impacts for the Megamendung community.
For EIGER Adventure Land, the recruitment process focuses not only on professional competence but also on character, integrity, and alignment of values as the foundation of a strong and responsible organizational culture.
“Building an organisation is not only about ability, but also character. Each person who joins EIGER Adventure Land brings the values we uphold and contributes to delivering meaningful experiences for the community and the environment,” said Imanuel Wirajaya, in a written press release published Friday, March 6.
Through this mass recruitment exercise, the man nicknamed ‘Nunu’ said EIGER Adventure Land is emphasising its role as a partner in community empowerment within its operational area. He noted that currently more than 200 EIGER Adventure Land employees originate from Megamendung. This reflects the company’s commitment to prioritising local labour absorption.
“When operations commence and the site is officially opened to the public, EIGER Adventure Land will continue to create jobs for surrounding communities to grow and develop together with the site.”
According to him, support from the regional government and residents’ enthusiasm has delivered tangible, inclusive, and sustainable economic impacts for Bogor Regency communities, especially in Megamendung.
As a show of support for the initiative, representatives from local government attended the recruitment opening: Megamendung sub-district chief Ridwan and Sukagalih Village head Alwansyah Sudarman were present. The presence of local stakeholders underscored a joint commitment to ensure the recruitment process delivers maximum benefits to the surrounding community.
In his remarks, Ridwan expressed appreciation to EIGER Adventure Land for the broad job opportunities, especially for local residents. “We commend EIGER Adventure Land for opening job vacancies and prioritising local labour absorption from nearby residents. This is a positive step towards improving our community’s welfare,” Ridwan said. He also urged all recruitment participants to stay motivated through the selection process.
“Follow this process well, stay motivated, and do not be discouraged if results do not meet expectations. Opportunity always comes to those who keep trying,” he concluded.
