UPS is staffing up for the holiday shipping season by hiring more than 100,000 seasonal workers — a daunting challenge amid widespread labor shortages.
In Atlanta, UPS plans to hire about 2,300 seasonal employees in preparation for its peak season. Seasonal hiring is critical for UPS to get millions of packages delivered on time over the holidays, when its package volume nearly doubles.
To compete in the tight job market, the shipping giant says it has an expedited hiring process that allows many job seekers to get an offer 25 minutes after applying online, with no in-person interview required for most positions.
