Investing.com -- JD.com Inc., a Beijing-based company, has announced plans to hire 100,000 full-time riders within the next three months.
This move is seen as an effort to strengthen its food delivery services, as it competes against market leader Meituan.
The company’s decision to increase its delivery workforce comes in response to a rival barring riders from accepting delivery orders from JD.
In addition to hiring more riders, JD.com Inc. has also pledged to guarantee sufficient orders for those riders who have been prohibited by the rival company to ensure that their income is not affected.
Furthermore, the company is exploring opportunities to arrange jobs for the partners of these riders, with the aim of boosting household income.
