Human Resources director for Flight Centre Travel Group, Carol Cooper, announced that Dick Smith employees facing redundancy would get through to the final stage of the travel agency’s recruitment process.

Cooper told News Corp, “We sympathise with the tough position these employees are in and recognise that they have good customer service skills and sale experience that we believe would make them an asset to our company.” The offer aims to help former staff obtain ‘sales consultant support roles’ with Flight Centre Travel Group.
