Express delivery "deaf people" prepare for the double eleven: some companies offer daily salary 500 yuan.
After some e-commerce platforms entered the pre-sale period of this year’s "Double Eleven", the biggest express season in one year also kicked off. Beijing Youth Daily reporter recently found that this year’s express delivery company’s "rob people war" not only started as early as last month, but also some outlets opened the daily salary for temporary recruitment of couriers to 500 yuan.
Courier company grabs people.
Part of the daily salary is 500 yuan
"Recruitment of couriers, living nearby is preferred, and the salary can be settled daily. The salary is from 300 yuan to 400 yuan … …” A few days ago, Mr. Zhao, who lives in the East Third Ring Road in Beijing, found a recruitment notice posted on the little brother’s car that sent a courier to his home community. With the approach of "Double Eleven", there are more and more express delivery vehicles with recruitment notices, and some even bid the daily wage of 500 yuan. "I want to send a courier after reading it." Mr. Zhao said that this is much higher than his current job salary.
At the rookie direct delivery station in Jiangcun, Hangzhou, the site has been continuously recruiting people. The stationmaster Peng Dengzhong said, "The site intends to supplement 25 capacity, and it has also increased the dispatch fee. The dispatch fee of 3.15 yuan/single plus the subsidy for heavy parts can easily exceed 10,000 yuan. Now 18 people have been recruited, most of them are after 00. "
Peng Dengzhong is also using car stickers to recruit workers. The effect is obvious, and the recruitment crowd is very accurate. They are all residents of nearby communities and are familiar with the geographical environment. Gong Yajing, a new courier, said, "The income here is quite stable. I heard that ‘ Double eleven ’ It is the time when the courier makes the most money. The stationmaster said that there are still subsidies. It is almost the end of the year, just to earn more money, so I came. "
Not only offline recruitment, Beiqing Daily reporters saw on some local recruitment platforms that the posts for recruiting couriers, sorters and packers have increased recently, and the conditions for opening them are much more generous than in previous years. It is already the basic operation of recruitment for courier companies to type "food, accommodation" and "free car" in recruitment information. Some companies have typed "only delivery without packaging and sorting", and some even clearly marked "only one point is required". In terms of treatment, the posts recruiting couriers online all started with a salary of 9,000 yuan, and some reached an upper limit of 15,000 yuan. And some posts that recruit long-term couriers also play such additional benefits as "two weekends a week", "marriage leave" and "salary can be advanced".
The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that public information showed that the recruitment demand of express sorters in the same city and market platform ranked ninth in the third quarter of 2022, up 69.27% year-on-year.
Fight for service during the "Double Eleven" period
Forcing the industry to retain people with high salaries.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that this year, many express delivery companies strive to improve their terminal service capabilities during the "Double Eleven" period. One of the "sharp weapons" is the promise of "home delivery". For example, during the "Double Eleven" period, Shentong launched on-demand delivery services in 30 cities where online shopping is active, including couriers who will take the initiative to standardize telecommunications with customers and deliver them to the door for users to sign for. Rookie is to increase the intensity of door-to-door delivery through self-operated logistics rookie direct delivery (Dan Bird), joining rookie station and joint Shentong Express. Jingdong Logistics said that through intelligent technology such as five-level address fence, it can guarantee the undifferentiated door-to-door service across the country and reach the fastest time in over 200 cities. SF even announced on September 5th that 50 cities across the country, including Beijing and Shanghai, "failed to deliver the goods and promised to pay".
All these measures need more people at the end site to complete. According to statistics, the rookie will increase 100,000 short-term workers in this "Double Eleven". According to the data previously revealed from the rookie, it is expected that this year’s "Double Eleven" express delivery volume will hit a record high. The gap of express delivery practitioners needs to be filled, and the monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is expected to continue throughout the express delivery season.
"Looking at the treatment is good. In fact, it is not easy to recruit people." The person in charge of a express delivery station in Chaoyang District said that it has been preparing for the arrival of the peak season since September, and it has been recruited for more than a month, and it has not filled the expected number. In order to recruit people, the person in charge also made efforts internally, promising that the existing courier would give a red envelope reward of 200-300 yuan if he could recommend people to the site, and if the recommended person could work for two months, the recommender could get another red envelope.
"There are quite a few people who come to inquire. Many people give up when they listen to the length of work every day. Others left in less than ten days. " The person in charge said that it has not yet entered the real peak season, but the number of express delivery has also increased a lot compared with the beginning of the month. The current state is from 7 am to 7 pm. According to the situation of "Double Eleven" in previous years, it is estimated that I have to work for about 16 hours a day when I am really busy. Not only that, in recent years, the "Double Eleven" front has become longer and longer, and the distribution peak has also been extended, so we can only rely on high salaries to retain people.
