Walmart made an announcement on Wednesday, Sept. 1, that it will be launching a new hiring spree with the intention of recruiting around 20,000 workers. The retail chain stated that the move is for the anticipated shopping rush for the upcoming holiday season.
As per CNBC, the Bentonville, Arkansas headquartered firm will be hiring for part-time and full-time job positions but applicants can expect to find more permanent posts. It was mentioned that Walmart will be deploying the new hires to its more than 250 stores, distribution centers, fulfillment hubs, and transportation offices.
The opportunities will give prospective new hires a chance to earn up to $20.37an hour for the supply chain associate role. The wage offerings and benefits are attractive so people should grab the chance to be employed in Walmart which is already the best employer in the country.
The company will hold the special hiring event to recruit 20,000 workers across the U.S. on Sept. 8 and 9. This is a 2-day event that should not be missed as the holidays are fast approaching. In any case, Walmart is doing its best to beat staff shortage as many of its workers have failed to return due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“In order to support our growth, we’re planning to hire 20,000 new associates across more than 250 Walmart and Sam’s Club distribution centers (DCs), fulfillment centers (FCs) and transportation offices,” Walmart US executive vice president of supply chain and operations,” Joe Metzger, and senior vice president of people, supply chain, Karisa Sprague, jointly said in a press release that was posted on Sept. 1. “Next week we’re holding special hiring events on Sept. 8 - 9 to attract the best and brightest candidates in all our supply chain locations.”
Finally, the Walmart executives revealed that they need to fill up positions in the company including freight handlers, order fillers, technicians, lift drivers, and many other roles in the management unit. They also reiterated that most of the vacancies are for permanent employment. This is the firm’s latest mass hiring this year despite the deployment of automated systems in its facilities.
