Five Years For One Hundred Thousand Jobs

The apparel giant of the United States is expanding against the trend. It plans to provide 100 thousand jobs for itself and its upstream and downstream partners in the next five years. In 2009, the company expects to recruit 5000 new people.

Zhou Chengjian, chairman and general manager, said yesterday that this large-scale recruitment has gone far beyond the meaning of "Recruitment" itself. The 5000 employees we intend to recruit have reached half of the total development of the United States in the past 13 years.

Currently, there are 22 branch offices in the United States, 30% of which are direct stores in more than 2600 stores, and more than 9000 are on the job.

Zhou Chengjian said that the downturn of the real estate industry, which was affected by the financial crisis in 2009, actually gave us a rare opportunity to develop "contrarian development".

Not long ago, the company spent 180 million yuan on the acquisition of two commercial real estate in Nanchang and Dandong, Liaoning. 85% of the company's listing and raising funds will also be used for terminal purchases.

Compared with stores all over the country, compared with hundreds of upstream suppliers, the "light asset" mode of the United States has always been inconsistent with the recruitment.

It is estimated that with the development and expansion of enterprises in 2009, more than 20000 jobs will be increased in the upper and lower reaches. In the next five years, the United States will reach 100 thousand new jobs in the upper and lower reaches.

The latest round of recruitment will be mainly Meters/bonwe and ME&CITY shop sales staff, accounting for more than 90% of the total number of recruiters, the main recruitment will be concentrated in the first, second quarter of this year.

On the one hand, this is based on the marketing plan of the two brands in 2009, and plans to set up flagship stores in 20 to 50 large markets. On the other hand, all retail businesses are faced with the reality of terminal mobility and need fresh blood supplement.

With the development of enterprises, the employment strategy of American state clothing is also constantly adjusting and enriching.

Zhou Chengjian said, "if we did well in the past 13 years, we would focus on producing products, and from this year on, we will focus on cultivating people.

13 years of development, let us have a team that can serve the development of Meters/bonwe and ME&CITY brand. In the next 3-5 years, I hope to have a team that can operate 3-5 brands at the same time. This is the necessity of the fashion world.

At present, Smith Barney has published detailed job descriptions and recruitment instructions on its official website.
