UPS Hosting 'Brown Friday' Today in Effort to Hire 40K Seasonal Employees
UPS is not the only company that’s come up with creative ways to fulfill staffing needs.
UPS wants to hire 40,000 seasonal employees for the upcoming holidays, so they’re hosting “Brown Friday” today in the hopes of accomplishing just that, according to a Fox Business report.
Job fairs are taking place today in 170 cities across the U.S. to hire both full-time and part-time employees, according to the article.
“Many of those who come to one of our job fairs this Friday could be signed up for a seasonal role by Monday,” UPS vice president of human resources Stefond Harris said in a statement, according to the article.
UPS isn’t the only company to have tried walk-in interviews this year in an effort to create a hiring boost. On August 1, Chick-fil-A hosted walk-in interviews for full-time and part-time positions in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
