Full-time jobs in retail sector are in demand
Retailers are seeing increased interest from job seekers looking for full-time positions.
That’s according to the “iCIMS Insights April 2024 Workforce Report,” which found that applications per opening (APO) for full-time jobs spiked to 39, reflecting a 50% jump year-over-year in March. And while part-time workers have historically accounted for nearly 30% of retailers’ staff, it’s getting harder for companies to convince people to take these jobs. Part-time jobs in retail received only only 20 applications, on average.
To drive part-time retention, retail employers should prioritize job satisfaction, internal mobility and DEI practices, advised iCIMS.
The report found that job openings in retail remained flat for the second month in a row, but are 12% below January 2023 levels. However, retail employers aren’t hesitating to hire — hires jumped 10% from last month.
