THE PROBLEM
Christmas hiring is a short, high-volume spike.
Traditional advertising leaves you waiting for applications to arrive, then sorting through people who may not be available on the dates you actually need. The volume of applications is overwhelming with no way to easily filter. Candidates apply repeatedly without knowing where they stand. Everyone loses time in the busiest trading period of the year.
Every store runs its own race. The same candidates apply across your network and nobody sees the whole picture.
You advertise and wait. Applications arrive late, unevenly and rarely from people free on the dates you actually need.
