Retail Recruitment
Mergers and acquisitions, seasonal hiring spikes, e-commerce apps, direct-to-consumer brands. Retail is rapidly evolving. Whether you're brick and mortar, fully digital, or somewhere in-between, customer preferences and new ways of doing business are likely changing the composition of your workforce.
To keep up, employers are hiring more digital marketers and data analysts; roles not traditionally associated with retail. That's in addition to on-the-ground roles like salespeople and customer service reps. Employers need the flexibility to attract, hire, and retain all of the above.
That's why retailers have trusted iCIMS for 20 years to build their winning workforces in any business environment.
Here's what retail recruiters are up against
Nearly half of retail job applications are abandoned
The vast majority of retailers struggle to find talent with the right experience
The turnover rate for part-time, hourly workers
Retailers use iCIMS to sell their candidates
saved $1m per year by switching to icims
and uses texting to engage its candidates and 45,000 employees
"The hourly workforce we work with aren't on email..."
texting is one of the easiest ways to ignite a conversation."

"iCIMS really obsesses about the candidate experience
and the recruiters and hiring managers that engage with the tool."
