Holiday store workers value flexibility, more hours over pay rate

November 1, 2019

A Bluecrew and Toluna hiring report reveals job-seekers looking for holiday hourly jobs prefer flexible schedules and more hours more than attaining the highest pay rate. In fact highest pay is the least popular criteria, according to a press release on the survey that polled more than 800 holiday job seekers. Another top focus for job-seekers is "a good company" and "a great atmosphere" work-wise.

The report reveals the majority of job seekers (63%) began looking for holiday employment before October and some workers started as early as July (15%) and August (25%), while an additional 34% started searches in September.

"As the competition for quality workers continues to increase, employers that want to attract the best and brightest need to understand how the employment landscape is changing and what workers are really looking for," said Adam Roston, Bluecrew CEO, in the release.

"The Bluecrew 2019 Holiday Hiring Report reveals that above all else, holiday workers want the flexibility to work when they want and as much as they can."
