150 delivery driver positions are also to be filled in 2021 within FnacDarty, jobs that have once again demonstrated their strategic role in recent months, when, due to the COVID-19 crisis, customers have made extensive use of the fnac.com and darty.com websites to get products delivered.
FnacDarty is also planning to hire 150 kitchen designers/vendors to support the development of its Darty Cuisine business, whose plan to open at least 150 shops in the coming years remains a priority as part of its diversification strategy.
The company is also hiring to strenghten its ecommerce and digital presence.
