UPS announced Wednesday that it intends to hire over 125,000 employees to handle deliveries this holiday season.
The package delivery giant said in a post on its website that nearly 75% of its seasonal jobs do not require an interview and "applicants can get a job offer in just 10 minutes."
The company said it is looking for Commercial Driver's License drivers, seasonal delivery drivers and package handlers. UPS is offering a $250 bonus to current employees that refer seasonal hires.
The seasonal employees are covered under the bargaining agreement UPS signed with the Teamsters union in 2023, a union representative confirmed to USA TODAY Wednesday.

UPS listed the base pay for the seasonal positions as:
- Package handler: $21 per hour
- Seasonal Package Delivery Driver: $23 per hour
- Commercial Driver's License Driver: $23 per hour
"Our seasonal positions typically start around Brown Friday and go into mid-January to support the return and gift card season," UPS said in a statement to USA TODAY.
The openings are available throughout the country and are listed on the company's website.
