Before Black Friday, UPS To Hold Nationwide ‘UPS Brown Friday’ Hiring Events
15 Octobre 2018 - 3:00PM
- One-day hiring blitz on October 19 part of UPS’s larger effort
to hire about 100,000 seasonal employees
- Nearly 170 job fairs across the country; anticipate
signing up nearly 40,000 in one day
UPS (NYSE: UPS) announced today that it expects to sign-up
nearly 40,000 seasonal employees this Friday, in a one-day hiring
blitz it’s calling ‘UPS Brown Friday’.
The company launched last month plans to hire
100,000 seasonal workers to support its annual holiday shipping
rush, and UPS Brown Friday is part of that continuing effort. UPS
is holding nearly 170 hiring fairs across the country on Friday,
and will be hiring thousands of candidates on the spot. A list of
local hiring events is available here.
“Just about everyone has heard of Black Friday
and Cyber Monday, but for anyone looking for a great seasonal job
this holiday season, UPS Brown Friday promises the first good deal
of the season,” said Stefond Harris, Vice President, Human
Resources. “Many of those who come to one of our job fairs this
Friday could be signed up for a seasonal role by Monday.”
Those who are unable to attend a hiring fair can
still apply easily online, at UPSjobs.com. Videos featuring
employees describing their work experience at UPS are also
available at the UPS jobs website.
The full- and part-time seasonal positions –
primarily package handlers, drivers and driver-helpers – have long
been an entry point for permanent employment at UPS. Many senior
UPS executives, including Chief Executive Officer David Abney and
other members of the company’s senior leadership team, started
their UPS careers as part-time employees.
Over the last three years, 35 percent of the people UPS hired
for seasonal package handler jobs were later hired in a permanent
position when the holidays were over. In fact, 128,000 UPS
employees established their careers at the company after starting
as seasonal employees – that’s roughly one-third of the company’s
U.S. workforce.
Permanent UPS jobs – including part-time jobs -- come with great
pay and benefits, including healthcare and retirement benefits. At
many UPS® locations, part-time employees are eligible to receive up
to $25,000 in tuition assistance through the company’s Earn and
Learn program.
