The challenge

Why hiring in retail & hospitality is hard

Seasonal spikes, fixed headcount

Hiring triples for a quarter while your recruiting team doesn't. Roles go unfilled exactly when traffic peaks.

Attitude over CV

Service roles live or die on warmth, energy and dependability — none of which a résumé captures.

Hiring scattered across managers

Store and venue managers screen on the side, inconsistently, and great candidates ghost while they wait.

Questions, answered

Can it keep up with seasonal hiring surges?
Yes — capacity isn't tied to recruiter headcount, so a 3× spike in applications still gets fully screened the same day.
Will store managers actually use it?
They receive a ranked shortlist with evidence instead of a résumé stack, so it removes work rather than adding a tool to learn.
