FLEXPORT is rescinding job offers for more than 75 people after they were offered positions during a hiring freeze, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The company's returning chief, Ryan Petersen, said in a social media post that the company was "rescinding a bunch of signed offer letters for people who were starting as soon as this Monday".
Mr Petersen returned to lead the company following the announcement that chief executive Dave Clark was leaving after a year at the company.
"I am deeply sorry to those people who were expecting to join our company and won't be able to at this time," he wrote. "It's messed up. But no way around it, we have had a hiring freeze for months I have no ideas why more than 75 people were signed to join."
Mr Petersen said he also had no idea why the company had more than 200 open roles on its website. "All of those have been cancelled except for a handful of roles directly tied to our most important initiatives, eg improving timeliness of our freight services," he said.
Mr Petersen said that each person would be contacted to explain the move. "I hope you will forgive us someday and even consider coming to work here again once we get our house in order. But now would not be a good time to add more people and expenses to the company."
The development comes just a day after high-profile hire Mr Clark, who spent two decades overseeing logistics operations at e-commerce giant Amazon, suddenly announced he was leaving the company.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports that Mr Clark's lieutenants are also leaving the company, adding that that Teresa Carlson and Darcie Henry, hired while Mr Clark was boss, were also leaving.
