33 Percent Increase from 2015 in Seasonal
Hires
Office Depot, Inc. (NASDAQ:ODP), a leading global provider
of office products, services, and solutions, through its
Office Depot and OfficeMax brands, today announced plans to hire
8,000 seasonal and regular retail associates during its busy
back-to-school season.
The seasonal associates help support the increased customer
traffic from parents, students and teachers shopping for all of
their school supply needs. Office Depot is gearing up with
additional sales consultants, stock associates, and cashiers during
the peak months of July, August and September.
The positions provide opportunities for seasonal associates to
gain entry-level experience while working in a retail store. Sales
consultants should possess a passion for selling in a personalized
sales and customer centric environment.
“As we gear up for the busy back-to-school season, hiring
additional associates in our retail stores is essential so that we
provide our customers with a great shopping experience. These
opportunities are ideal for smiling, friendly candidates who enjoy
working with people, possess a passion for selling, and thrive in a
fast-paced sales environment,” said Lynn Gross, vice president of
human resources for retail at Office Depot, Inc.
In 2016, Office Depot will hire 33 percent more seasonal
back-to-school associates compared to 2015 – an increase of 2,000
more associates.
“We’re looking forward to bringing in more associates this year
to ensure our customers get the best, personal service to fulfill
their back-to-school shopping needs,” said Gross.
Seasonal and regular associates receive a 10 percent employee
discount and a flexible schedule. Seasonal associates also have the
potential to transition from a seasonal to regular position should
openings become available.
