Hhgregg prepares for holiday shopping season

Hhgregg plans to hire more than 450 home electronics and home appliances salespeople this holiday season to support its 228 stores.



“The holiday shopping season creates the best opportunity of the year for us to connect with our customers and provide a shopping experience that’s unmatched,” said CEO Dennis May. “With our sales associates at the core of our business, hiring is one of the most important aspects of our holiday preparation, and we’re thrilled to be able to add more than 450 additional qualified employees to the Hhgregg family.”



Hhgregg is accepting applications for holiday positions starting now, and plans to have all new hires on board and in stores by mid-October. The retailer is looking for full- and part-time employees, and it will consider all new hires for ongoing employment.



“To ensure that we maintain our extraordinary customer experience throughout the holiday season and on Black Friday, we’re looking for knowledgeable, friendly salespeople in both electronics and appliances for the holidays,” said Donna Desilets, VP of HR. “Our holiday positions are not typical 90-day-only hires, in that if new associates are performing to Hhgregg standards, the positions become ongoing.”
