The Original Factory Shop has pledged to offer interviews to Wilko and New Look staff who are at risk or have been made redundant from the two stores.
The discount retailer is also offering guaranteed interviews to other colleagues who have been impacted by the redundancies at Argos, B&Q, M&Co, Paperchase and TK Maxx.
Thousands of jobs across retail have been axed in 2023 so far as many companies are choosing to cut costs or have fallen into administration.
The Original Factory Shop has 185 stores with 80 vacancies across the country and a recruitment hotline has been opened for former or existing employees to apply for a job.
A telephone interview will be guaranteed and those applying for jobs can contact The Original Factory Shop’s people team or apply online at tofscareers.com where they will receive a callback.
TOFS talent acquisition lead Charlie Cuthbert said: “This pledge will hopefully mean more people remain employed while at the same time bringing their retail expertise and fantastic transferable skills to The Original Factory Shop.
“As a fellow retailer we have over 80 vacancies available including roles for sales colleagues, supervisors and management roles and want to step in to help.”
