Job Candidates: Starbucks Plans and Store Level

job candidates: Starbucks plans on kicking off the initiative within the next two months and concentrate on finding potential hires mostly in regions with the largest number of refugees, including Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, according to Brandon Sun. It's a sign of the times, said spokeswoman Luisa Girotto. The company said it will actively begin recruiting job candidates through the national organization, Hire Immigrants, which works with a network of municipal and provincial resettlement agencies. It's a sign of great need for Starbucks . The majority of the jobs will be permanent positions at the store level and the starting salary will be minimum wage, the company said. As of last fall, Starbucks Canada operated 1,399 locations across the country and employed more than 19,000 workers. The commitment is part of the coffee retailer's global goal announced in January to hire 10,000 refugees in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's temporary travel bans against Muslim-majority countries.
