Managing recruitment in the retail industry<\/a> is an ongoing challenge. HR teams in retail organisations are tasked with hiring a constant, high-volume flow of new retail workers while managing a turnover rate and seasonality that is simply not present in any other industry. There is substantial volatility with Australian retail jobs, with<\/span> a turnover rate of 41%<\/span><\/a> compared to a nationwide average of<\/span> less than 10%<\/span><\/a> for other industries in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Retail HR teams must also manage their mass recruitment in a way that identifies the best candidates cost-effectively, because modern-day retail also has to compete in profit with its online retail competitors. But managing an ongoing and constant flow of new hires can put strain on HR teams and result in rushed or unsystematic onboarding processes; in turn affecting revenue and productivity while increasing turnover.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to achieve their talent acquisition goals, retail recruitment teams should utilise the best tools available on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where a best-of-breed talent acquisition platform helps<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A best-of-breed platform allows retail talent acquisition teams to build a suite of the best software modules for their needs, available in a one-stop source. The Scout Talent platform, for example, allows retail teams to have the best software for tracking and managing candidates, onboarding new hires, and keeping passive candidates engaged. These software modules can be easily integrated to keep your talent acquisition data and processes in one place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comprehensive ATS and recruitment CRM<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Applicant tracking systems (ATS) and recruitment candidate relationship management (CRM) tools are useful for all industries. They allow HR teams to better track, manage, evaluate, and engage with candidates. When dealing with so many candidates, utilising an ATS and recruitment CRM such as Scout Talent :Recruit will drastically reduce errors, streamline the hiring process, and provide a better candidate experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These benefits are highly impactful when working in the retail industry, as it makes recruiting en masse much easier and mitigates common challenges in retail processes, such as ghosting (where a candidate disappears because they found a job elsewhere while they were applying and interviewing with you), as your smooth recruitment process and candidate care can be enough to convince a candidate to go with your organisation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

:Recruit, Scout Talent\u2019s premier ATS and recruitment CRM module, has a range of features that support retail recruitment, including:<\/span><\/p>\n
