UPS announced Wednesday that it intends to hire over 125,000 employees to handle deliveries this holiday season.

The package delivery giant said in a post on its website that nearly 75% of its seasonal jobs do not require an interview and "applicants can get a job offer in just 10 minutes."

The company said it is looking for Commercial Driver's License drivers, seasonal delivery drivers and package handlers. UPS is offering a $250 bonus to current employees that refer seasonal hires.

The seasonal employees are covered under the bargaining agreement UPS signed with the Teamsters union in 2023, a union representative confirmed to USA TODAY Wednesday.

The openings are available throughout the country and are listed on the company's website.
