Cabela’s is shooting for the best and brightest as the company aims to hire between 300 and 350 by mid-November at its Call Center located in Lincoln, NE increasing the number of people on its current staff by more than 50 percent.
Cabela’s is currently accepting applications for part-time and seasonal morning, afternoon and evening customer relation associates, through October. Applications are also being accepted for full-time and part-time positions with Worlds Foremost Bank in Lincoln, according to Human Resources Manager Judy Fischer.
Fischer said that Cabela’s generally hires additional part time employees during this time of year to gear up for the holiday season when calls increase dramatically. Fischer added that she has been extremely pleased with this year’s applications.
“It’s been great,” she said, “We are having lots of luck getting qualified applicants.”
Since Cabela’s posted the position in April, more than 700 people have applied.
Cabela’s hopes to have all positions filled by mid-November. New hires will go through a two-week training course and will enjoy the benefits of working at Cabela’s, such as a casual, relaxed work environment, an excellent benefits package and the opportunity to work for a company that values employee advancement, according to Fischer.
Fischer said that Cabela’s looks for people with good listening and customer service skills, a clear voice and keyboarding skills.
Fischer added that they should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment while taking orders over the phone and using a computer to enter the information.
Fischer added that they are also targeting people who share Cabela’s core values—especially its dedication to customer service.
“Cabela’s continues to embrace the original philosophy that the customer is number one—a philosophy instilled by company founders Jim and Dick Cabela. This dedication to the customer is just one of many reasons Cabela’s is what the family always knew it could be—a dream come true.”
