Purina PetCare drives new job postings at Nestle

Nestleā€™s Purina PetCare job postings increased according to GlobalData.

Nestleā€™s Purina PetCare segment job postings increased by 168% between Q1 and Q3 of 2020 in contrast to the overall hiring trend that witnessed a decline during the same period, according to GlobalDataā€™s Job Analytics database. The firm posted around 800 pet care jobs, with active jobs growing three-fold from January to October 2020.

Ajay Thalluri, Business Fundamental Analyst at GlobalData notes: ā€œNestleā€™s job postings were related to product innovation involving research studies on applied pet behaviour, manufacturing and connected tech. This compliments the companyā€™s other product categories: nutrition, cooking aids and beverages - the other key sales drivers for the company.ā€

Sumit Chopra, Director of Consumer Research, says: ā€œWhile COVID-19 has significantly impacted various industries and consumers, it has been a boon to the pet care industry with consumers having more time and money to spend on their pets. GlobalData expects this trend to continue in 2021.

ā€œCompanies are investing across various streams of operations ranging from digitization to technology advancement, ecommerce capabilities, product diversification and expanded consumer base. It is evident from Nestleā€™s hiring initiatives that it is not only strengthening business functions across the value chain but also prudently striving towards making the business future proof from competition.ā€
