Coles is looking to employ another 5000 staff at its supermarkets and liquor stores across the country to help meet the huge demand sparked by the COVID-19 crisis.
The Australian supermarket giant Coles hired 7000 new workers in the past two weeks to meet the demand of the company. Coles CEO Steven Cain said Coles was delighted with the response to the recruitment callout, but that they were looking to hire another 5000 people.
“Coles is doing everything we can to support jobs and the economy through this challenging time, while also ensuring we can provide groceries for all Australians,” he said.
This will bring the company’s total number of new employees to 12,000, all hired over a few short weeks. The new recruits have been fast-tracked into Coles’ supermarkets and liquor stores across Australia and have come from a wide range of industries and businesses, including many that have been forced to close or to stand down staff such as in travel, sport, fitness and hospitality.
