M&S has paused recruitment amid an ongoing cyber attack.<\/p>\n

The company has pulled all online job adverts from its website as it seeks to resolve problems on its platforms.<\/p>\n

M&S<\/strong><\/a>‘s website currently says: “Sorry you can’t search or apply for roles right now, we’re working hard to be back online as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the company had no jobs listed anywhere across its UK business despite having more than 200 job openings this time last week.<\/p>\n

“While we proactively manage the cyber incident, we are temporarily pausing some of our normal processes so we can continue to work hard on offering the best M&S for our customers and colleagues,” M&S told Sky News’ Money<\/a><\/strong> team.<\/p>\n

“Job adverts will be up again in due course.”<\/p>\n

The British business employs around 65,000 people and has been battling the cyber attack<\/strong><\/a> for more than a week.<\/p>\n

It is still not taking online orders and some customers have reported empty shelves around the country.<\/p>\n

M&S first reported issues over the Easter weekend, when it stopped taking click-and-collect orders and saw contactless payments impacted by the “cyber incident”.<\/p>\n

It has since restarted contactless payments.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police confirmed it is investigating a cyber attack.<\/p>\n

In a separate incident, rival retailer The Co-op shut off parts of its IT systems on Wednesday after an attempted hack.<\/p>\n

Co-op staff are now reportedly being ordered to keep cameras on to verify identities on all remote work meetings as a result.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
