“Our early seasonal hiring strategy positions Kohl’s for success during the back half of the year and ensures our store teams are fully staffed and trained to meet the needs of our customers during the holiday season,” Marc Chini, senior executive vice president and chief people officer at Kohl’s said in a statement. “Our full-time, part-time and seasonal Kohl’s associates bring to life the omnichannel shopping experience that sets Kohl’s apart, and we look forward to welcoming our new associates whether they’re looking to earn additional money for holiday gifts or seeking to start their careers in retail.”
Kohl’s did not announce the total number of seasonal employees it plans to hire, but said hiring decisions are based on the needs of individual store locations.
