Angard Not Recruiting From Christmas Casuals This Year?

Post by Hubert »

Finished my stint as a Christmas Casual and this is the first time nobody mentioned transferring to Angard in the new year. Normally the manager goes around collecting names and they send you an email. This year, nothing.

I also noticed Angard has removed nearly all the "mail sorter" roles from its website that used to remain open all year round.

Are they finally moving towards 100% automation?

After talking to morning shift, I discovered the same thing, no one was transferred to Angard. Have to ask night shift what's the status. And was also told that Angard is not advertising any vacancies in our Mail Centre.

Also, Angard hired quite a few people themselves. Not sure how many stayed after rate drop. A few of them were pretty good, so that may minimise the need to transfer casuals. Casuals may also not be happy about low rate.
