ATLANTA, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Randstad US today announced it is currently hiring
for more than 25,000 seasonal jobs across the country ahead of what
is expected to be a busy holiday season for many industries. The
positions span a wide variety of job types and skills, with both
recruitment and hiring taking place in the next few months, as
online shopping and earlier retail sales have extended the holiday
shopping season.
Here are the job markets with the most open positions:
- Hebron, KY
- Columbus, OH
- Memphis, TN
- Nashville, TN
- Charlotte, NC
- Chicago, IL
- Los Angeles, CA
- Phoenix, AZ
- Minneapolis, MN
- Dallas, TX
There are a wide variety of open jobs in these and other
locations, but some of the most in-demand roles are:
- Warehouse support, including forklift operators, quality
control workers and shipment pickers/packers: People have
become increasingly comfortable with online shopping, but they've
also come to expect that their orders will be delivered faster than
ever before — and that's driving up headcount at warehouses and
distribution centers everywhere.
- Customer service agents and call center representatives:
In today's always-connected world, many customers in the U.S. will
stop doing business with a company as a result of poor customer
service, so businesses are gearing up to make sure they have staff
on hand to handle all inquiries — quickly and diplomatically — once
the holiday season gets in full swing.
- Finance and accounting professionals: Complex year-end
close and reconciliation processes are among the many reasons that
finance and accounting professionals find themselves cyclically in
such high demand.
"With the rise in e-commerce, we've seen a shift in how
companies with seasonal business cycles hire additional workers to
prepare for the holiday rush," said Greg
Dyer, president of Randstad's commercial staffing business.
"Instead of more in-person retail workers, we're seeing companies
greatly increase their hiring for customer service roles like call
center representatives. We're also seeing high demand for warehouse
support workers, especially to help process and fulfill online
orders."

holiday season, please visit the Randstad branch locator to find
