Description
The Swedish food delivery company Kavall has announced to hire 200 couriers and picking workers in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö in Sweden. The company has started recruiting part-time workers with a fixed hourly wage.
The company's aim is to expand its business after facing a higher demand of its services in the spring of 2022. According to the CEO of the company, the higher demand has led to a shortage of staff, which in turn has sometimes led to difficulties in keeping up with the deliveries.
Kavall is a Swedish food delivery company operating in Sweden and Norway.
