Atlanta-based UPS, the world’s largest package delivery company, is hosting its annual “Brown Friday” hiring event, with over 600 in-person and virtual events nationwide on Nov. 3rd and 4th.
The event hopes to be a scouting ground to hire 60,000 of the 100,000 seasonal employees it needs for the holidays.
After a less-than-ideal 3Q earnings report that saw an over 12% year-over-year decrease in revenue, CEO Carol Tomé said in a press release that the company is “well-prepared for the peak holiday season.”
The Atlanta-based company states that it is already recovering customers who switched to other delivery services due to the averted Teamsters strike, a labor shortage, supply chain crisis and inflation all putting the well known delivery service to the test.
“Volume that diverted during our labor negotiations is starting to return to our network,” said Tomé.
