Although the national and local economies are still being affected by COVID-19, you’ll still find some metro Atlanta companies making big hires this month.
From an online retailer beefing up hiring because of increased orders to a trucking company adding drivers, the following are some of the companies currently hiring in Atlanta:
Amazon
Amazon is still benefiting from a pandemic-related surge in online ordering, and the company plans to hire more than 4,000 workers in metro Atlanta. The jobs are regular full-time and part-time positions and aren’t part of the company’s expected seasonal hiring. Pay starts at $15 an hour.
