Hiring standards stricter now?

[buliSBI]

I was a longtime TM, I reapplied (not to the store where I used to work) for a seasonal position at one store and a permanent position at another. And rejection. I was at Spot for a number of years. I left my store on good terms less than a year ago.

What happened? Did their hiring standards get strict these days?

I too attempted to return in July of last year and applied for a seasonal job after I was laid off. I too received a rejection after interviewing.

I know some times stores will weigh the costs of hiring between a new hire and a former TM for permanent positions. But seasonal hires they will hire anyone they think will stay the full season term.

I always hated the "Hiring" banners but there were no immediate positions. Should be "Always Taking Applications."

same on my store. we're hiring, and front end has hours.
that may be due to the fact that for the past month, we've been beating our sales goal by 20-30% every day

It'd be hard to not hit goals for us.

Goal: 70k
And we'll do 40k in drive ups and order pickup.
I've been spending most of my shifts recently doing driveups nonstop.
