For FedEx, I have no idea. Years ago the key to getting there was military time. But now I have no clue. I don't know anyone who flies there.
For UPS, I do know two former AMF pilots who are there. One went straight from AMF to UPS about 12-13 years ago. The more recent one went from AMF to SkyWest and then to UPS about 6 months ago.
There is currently a program that UPS set up where they bring people on as interns and send them to AMF when they get to about 500 hours. They will fly here, starting as BE99 first officers then moving to the left seat in the 99 and up to the type rated planes until they get to about 3000 hours and then go back to UPS. This was announced as Phase I. Which implies there should be a Phase II and maybe III. No idea what it is but rumor is there may be an announcement mid to late November.
