Nordstrom adds holiday hiring incentives

Nordstrom is the latest retailer to join the holiday hiring blitz.

The department store retailer said it hopes to hire 28,600 seasonal and regular employees across its U.S. and Canada Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack stores, supply chain facilities (U.S. only) and customer care teams. Nordstrom will hold national hiring events at its Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack stores on October 22 and October 29 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and in its supply chain facilities on October 16 and October 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Similar to many other retailers, ranging from the Kroger Co. to Dollar Tree, Nordstrom is offering incentives for new employees this holiday season. At Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack stores, hourly and overnight employees will receive premium pay, with new employees eligible for up to $650 in incentive pay. New chain employees are eligible for up to $2,500 in incentive pay.

Nordstrom added that it offers comprehensive benefits for employees including competitive pay, a 20% merchandise discount, employee charitable match and volunteering program. Eligible employees can also receive medical coverage, an employer-matched retirement plan and more.
