China’s JD.com and JD-backed Dada Group plan to jointly offer 35,000 jobs during the coronavirus epidemic period. The move aims to minimise the impact of the epidemic on employment in the short term and help small and medium enterprises tide over the period. JD Logistics will offer over 20,000 frontline positions while the Dada Group will offer 15,000.
JD Logistics, a business group under JD.com, will offer positions like warehouse workers, pickers, couriers and drivers. JD Logistics has already hired 700 employees from more than 10 companies that partner with JD in various capacities, according to a company press release.
Dada Now, a local on-demand delivery platform under Dada Group is working with human resources organisations and restaurants to recruit 10,000 couriers in over 2,400 cities and counties in China. JD Daojia, a local on-demand retail platform under the Dada Group, will assist its retail partners in recruiting over 5,000 positions, such as pickers and packers, in more than 30 cities to meet the demand resulting from increasing online orders.
JD Daojia has already helped partners, including Yonghui Supermarket, Better Life, Huaguan, ALDI and Lotus by hiring their employees.
JD’s 7FRESH has launched a talent sharing plan. Under the plan, 7FRESH will hire short-term staff from restaurants, hotels, cinemas and other retail establishments that are temporarily closed due to the coronavirus for job positions, including shop clerk, packaging professionals and delivery staff. 7FRESH has already hired nearly 20 employees from more than 10 different enterprises, such as Ocean Family, In Flower House and Xiaohe Restaurant and Bar.
To help people who can’t go to their workplaces during this time but need to take care of their families, JD provides them with customer service positions. JD plans to hire thousands of part-time customer representatives on top of the hundreds it has already hired.
