Christmas Recruitment for Outhouses

Post by Hubert »

Are RM not opening up their outhouses this Christmas? I know they normally add them later to the applications but there is nothing listed for most of them including Nottingham, Chelmsford and Glasgow. I don't want to apply for a job only for them to open up vacancies that are much closer.

I don't think they will be. Usually they have the outhouses set up by now and the drop down list to confirm you've watched their stupid videos only has a few up there. Think Glasgow has an outhouse though.

I assume you mean the videos on their portal?

Glasgow only has one location listed on the RM website (at Turner Road) whereas, Bristol has four. It seems strange that one mail centre expects to be dealing with such a huge increase in the volume of mail and the others don't.

I wish they would just list all their locations from the outset so there was no second guessing whether or not they would be opening.

Wonder if RM expect the North West parcel hub to be able to soak up the overflow from the MCs up north

Ah I got that wrong then.

Bristol's locations are the Mail Centre, the Distribution centre for the South West, the Central delivery office & then a potential outhouse. On the recruitment website the outhouse still has no address and it didn't show on the list of sites as I said.
