Simply put, it’s how you entice job seekers to join your organization and the initiatives you take to keep them. With retail occupying one of the largest hiring markets in the world, it’s an industry that’s near and dear for many. In fact, six in ten Americans have worked a retail job at some point in their lives, and nearly a third of all first jobs are in the retail sector. The retail space comes with its own unique set of hiring and retention challenges. Retail suffers incredibly high turnover rates, so companies are nearly always looking for new candidates. Not to mention, volume-hiring is the norm, which means churning through thousands of applications to find the best candidates in a short amount of time. In this discussion, we will be exploring some of the issues retail recruiters face in greater detail, and more importantly, how to combat them.
