The company invites applicants to come onsite at all Gap, Gap
Outlet, Banana Republic, Banana Republic Factory, Old Navy stores
and select distribution and call centers for Gap Inc.’s holiday
hiring event in the United States on October 6, 2018 and in Canada
on October 13, 2018 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in local time zones.
Store job candidates are encouraged to apply for a position prior
to the holiday hiring events through Gap Inc.'s seasonal hiring
career page and distribution and call center candidates through Gap
Inc.’s career page. Athleta and Phoenix distribution center will
not host onsite interviews but will be recruiting for the holiday
season through the career page.
“Seasonal associates who work hard to serve our customers and
are passionate about our brands are crucial to our success this
holiday season,” said Brent Hyder, executive vice president, Chief
People Officer for Gap Inc. “Our goal is to meet our customers
where they are and our teams are critical to providing meaningful
shopping experiences in their daily interactions -- whether in
stores, online, call centers or distribution centers.”
Seasonal positions vary by location but include serving
customers on the sales floor at Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta and
Old Navy stores by helping find the right size and style through
our In Stock On Shelf app, which informs proactively the store
associates on their mobile devices when items need replenishing.
Non-store positions can involve coordinating shipments from our
distribution centers to stores, fulfilling customers’ orders from
online, via mobile or in store, and handling the high volume of
calls at customer call centers.
In select locations, this year’s holiday hiring effort will
complement Gap Inc.’s recently announced year-round hiring strategy
of its expanded This Way Ahead program, the company’s life skills
and on-the-job training program for Opportunity Youth that offers
young people first job experiences and coaching in stores and
distribution centers.
Seasonal associates will enjoy the same merchandise discount,
wellness offerings and flexible scheduling as the company’s current
associates. Gap Inc.’s employee merchandise discount includes 50
percent off regular-priced merchandise at Gap, Banana Republic and
Old Navy stores; 30 percent off at Outlet and Factory stores; and
25 percent off at Athleta stores. See the Gap Inc. seasonal hiring
career page for more details.
