Company to Kick-Off Hiring on October 8 with Annual National Signing
Day
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DICK'S Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS)
announced today that it plans to hire nearly 8,000 seasonal
teammates for the 2024 holiday season. The seventh-annual "National
Signing Day" on October 8 will kick
off holiday recruiting efforts for positions at DICK'S Sporting
Goods, DICK'S House of Sport, Public Lands and Going, Going, Gone!
stores across the country.
"Our seasonal teammates play a critical role in delivering
exceptional in-store experiences for our athletes during one of the
busiest times of the year, and we are thrilled to add nearly 8,000
more this holiday season," said Julie
Lodge-Jarrett, EVP, Chief People & Purpose Officer at
DICK'S Sporting Goods.
Seasonal teammates will have the opportunity to join a company
that has consistently received accolades for its workplace culture,
including landing on FORTUNE'S Best Place to Work in Retail for the
fourth year in a row, as well as Great Place to Work in 2021, 2022
and 2023.
DICK'S will close all its stores and distribution centers on
Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2024,
allowing teammates to spend the holiday with their families.
Athletes can shop online on Thanksgiving Day, with stores
re-opening on Black Friday.
DICK'S is seeking applicants who are passionate about customer
service, believe that sports have the power to change lives, and
have a sense of enthusiasm to support, inform, equip and inspire
athletes with the leading sports and outdoor brands. Teammates will
benefit from competitive pay, optional DailyPay and an associate
discount of up to 25-40% off.
Interested applicants should first apply online and then
visit their local store on National Signing Day (October 8) to be interviewed and meet the team.
Holiday hiring will continue beyond National Signing Day until all
positions are filled.
As the teammate turnover in stores has been steadily declining
since 2021, DICK'S has seen a decrease in the seasonal hiring
volume.
