Finding candidates
RCL’s recruitment initiative is a centrally created scalable strategy designed specifically to meet the hiring needs of each banner. With the help of our Talent Acquisition team, we will secure our ability to deliver an exceptional customer experience through hiring top talent and ensuring that workforce levels are always achieved.
Now that Store Managers are able to request their own job postings for their particular store, as well as, receive resumes directly in-store, you will be able to determine the needs of your store for the holiday season by sending the Talent Acquisition team at fieldjobs@reitmans.com specific requests for Fashion Associates, Stock/Inventory Associates or Management level roles, etc.
