Description

In a strong development, Star's Service, which is specialised in last mile logistics, plans to hire close to 500 new permanent employees this year, including drivers, wharf managers and dispatchers, order pickers and employees for support functions at the company's headquarters. The company explains that the future recruitment will serve both to meet the arrival of new customers, particularly in retail and healthcare, and to strengthen the existing teams (3,200 employees, more than 90% of them on permanent employment contracts).
