UK retailers are in the midst of an ecommerce hiring boom as the sharp rise in online sales during lockdown has created demand for new staff.
According to new research from Barclays Corporate Banking, 15 per cent of UK retailers have created roles specifically to help them expand their ecommerce operations.
This digital sales hiring spree comes as the wider retail sector endures unprecedented hardship leading to more than 24,000 jobs being cut this year so far.
