FedEx to take on 200 more staff in France
FedEx Express has announced plans to take on 200 more employees in France during 2008, split between its European hub at Roissy-CDG and its 14 branches in Paris and the regions. This would be an 8 pct increase in staff numbers.
FedEx Express, which opened its European hub at CDG in 1999, currently employs 2,500 people in France. A similar number of additional employees could be taken on annually over the next few years as the company grows its business.
“The express market is very dynamic and our recruitment needs reflect this development,” said Aurélie Morin, head of human resources. Most of the 200 additional jobs planned for this year will be in the positions of handlers, couriers and operational managers.
FedEx will concentrate on taking on locally-based staff who live close to its hub and branches. The company offers good career opportunities, with 80% of managers having advanced up through the ranks, Morin pointed out.
