I hate to be “that guy,” but the holiday season is quickly approaching. Have you hired your temporary staff yet? I know, I know, Halloween is over a month away, and the kids just went back to school, but if you aren’t prepared for the holiday rush now, you may be putting your company at a disadvantage.
Retail giants like Target, Kohls, and Amazon have all announced their hiring intentions ahead of the 2019 shopping season, and for hourly, retail employees, this spells good news! Amazon anticipates hiring over 30,000 permanent employees, Target plans to hire 125,000 seasonal workers, and Kohls says it has roughly 2,500 seasonal positions ready to be filled. As you can see, the hiring varies across each company, but one thing remains clear: Hourly workers are in demand this holiday season.
