XPO ups seasonal recruitment drive as e-commerce booms

XPO Logistics expects to hire more than 6,000 seasonal workers for its US contract logistics operations. In a statement issued today (23 October), XPO said its 2017 recruitment target exceeds last year’s level by approximately 1,000 workers, “due primarily to the growth in e-commerce”.

Troy Cooper, chief operating officer of XPO Logistics, said: “The dynamic growth in e-commerce and omnichannel is creating huge opportunities for our retail customers. We’re looking for individuals with a strong work ethic who want to further their skills with a company that prioritizes training, technology and safety.”
