A King of Prussia-based e-commerce technology and operations company is launching a nationwide push to fill 20,000 seasonal jobs in time for the holiday shopping season.
Radial, which formed earlier this year through the merger of eBay Enterprises and e-commerce company Innotrac, operates 26 fulfillment centers throughout the country and will go into overdrive from mid-November to just before Christmas, said its Chief Strategy Officer Stefan Weitz.
The job boost won’t be coming to the Philadelphia area. The bulk of the positions, centered on picking and packing products, are aimed at staffing Radial’s warehouses in states like Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Nevada.
The hiring spree might not supply workers in the region with seasonal work, but Weitz said it stems from Radial’s own growth. The 20,000 job fulfillment goal is at least 5,000 more than last year, he said, an increase of about 35 percent. Its permanent warehouse staff numbers about 7,000 and about 600 employees work at its headquarters operating its technology and customer relations.
