UPS announced that it is looking to hire at least 100,000 seasonal employees ahead of the holiday season this year.

In a brief announcement, the Atlanta-based logistics giant said the company is putting the call out early and it has also made the hiring process easier and faster to attract more workers as the company gears toward a busy holiday season.

"We have made our hiring process as simple and easy as possible," said Nando Cesarone, executive vice president and president, of US Operations.

"UPS's strength has always been our people, and we are excited about the opportunity to welcome new UPSers to our team as we deliver what matters for our customers this holiday season."

UPS noted that following last year's holiday season, nearly 35,000 seasonal employees – almost a third of total seasonal employees – earned permanent positions with UPS.
