Posti to hire 1300 seasonal workers for Christmas

National postal and logistic services operator Posti will hire more than 1300 workers across the country for the Christmas season, said Posti in a press release on Wednesday.

Christmas time employees are needed for logistics, delivery, sorting, and customer support tasks, as well as temporary pickup points.

E-commerce growth has increased the number of parcels and Christmas cards are still a cherished tradition for many.

“We at Posti deliver Christmas cheer everywhere in Finland and want to help ensure that our customers’ Christmas preparations go smoothly. The work of our Christmas makers is extremely important to us,” said Jenni Ailio, who oversees Posti’s Christmas recruiting for operational work.

Seasonal work is especially popular among students because of the flexible work shifts. Depending on the task, work is available for mornings, days, evenings, and weekends in November and December.

Recruitment has already started and there will be more openings during this month.
