Bridgestone Retail Operations is hosting a national hiring day across Ohio.

The hiring day is June 16 from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. at all 45 northern Ohio-based Firestone Complete Auto Care and Tires Plus locations, including Youngstown.

Interested applicants can stop into a store or visit the company's website to schedule an interview.

The company is looking to fill openings for automotive technicians, retail sales and other in-store management positions.

As part of the regional interview day, Bridgestone Retail Operations says it will offer a chance to win a tool gift card and present sign-on bonuses to those who qualify.

According to the company, it provides competitive pay and benefits, flexible scheduling, an employee discount and opportunities for employee development and advancement.

Bridgestone Retail Operations says it needs workers because of the recent surge in demand for automotive and tire service at its Ohio stores. The company says this is propelled by more drivers hitting the road as COVID-19 restrictions lift in parallel with record-level high prices for new vehicles.

The hiring event is meant to make sure Bridgestone Retail Operations locations are well-resourced to meet demand.
