Nordstrom, Inc. is set to hire around 250 employees for its first ever men’s store in Manhattan, which will open its doors on Broadway between West 57th and West 58th Street in April 2018.
The company is also set to open a New York City flagship store in 2019 at Central Park Tower. The retailer said that Cailin Caro will be the manager of the NYC men’s store, while longtime company member Chris Wanlass will take over as vice president of the Manhattan full-line store. Caro commented:
“This is an exciting and historic time to be a part of Nordstrom as we prepare to open our first full-line store in one of the best retail cities in the world. We’re building an empowered team of people focused on service and providing customers with an elevated experience that reflects the best of what we have to offer.”
To promote hiring, the retailer wrapped banners around the exterior of its men’s store with big signs stating, “Desperately Seeking Sock Svengali,” “Now Hiring: Sneaker Obsessives,” and “People People Wanted.” They are also recruiting online through social media placements.
“Nordstrom is a great place to build your career, something I’ve been fortunate to have experienced firsthand over the course of my 25 years with the company,” said Wanlass, adding that he and Caro are “committed to creating an environment that fosters career development and growth opportunities, not only within our Manhattan stores, but the company as a whole.”
Nordstrom has been listed as an employer of choice by Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For (and has been on this list for more than 20 years); Human Rights Campaign’s Best Places to Work for LBGT Equality (for 13 consecutive years); Forbes’ Best Employers for Diversity 2017; and Business of Fashion’s The Best Companies to Work For in Fashion 2017.
