Gap Inc. Spanish Language Hiring Pilot | Gap Inc
We are always looking for candidates to join our Distribution Center teams and help us deliver outstanding product to our customers — especially during the holiday peak season.
In celebration of Latinx Heritage Month, we spoke to Richard Nunez, Operations Manager in our Fishkill, NY location, who was part of the team who set out to attract candidates that spoke Spanish as their primary language. Reimagining our hiring process with an inclusive lens, they created a more inviting environment for Spanish speakers by translating all materials and signage, ensuring that bilingual leaders were always on the floor, and holding roundtable discussions with Spanish-speaking new hires.
With strong retention, performance and referral rates, the Spanish Language Hiring Pilot was a success and is now an ongoing program at our Fishkill campus — one that we plan to expand to our distribution centers across the country.
