Walmart is looking to hire additional full-time and part-time workers to help meet the everyday needs of its customers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We know millions of Americans who are usually employed at this time are temporarily out of work, and at the same time we’re currently seeing strong demand in our stores,” said Doug McMillon, President and CEO, Walmart. “We’re looking for people who see Walmart as a chance to earn some extra money and perform a vital service to their community.”
Paris Walmart hired 10 people on Thursday and is looking to hire more people as soon as possible.
Walmart is also implementing a new process to dramatically expedite hiring for key roles, such as cashiers and stockers.
“We can have them in the store working within 24-hours,” said Sam Samford.
