Social recruiting
for retail

Hire retail talent where they shop, browse, and build brand affinity fastest—on social media

Social recruiting helps you reach and attract more retail candidates, and their extended networks, driving more potential hires and customers to your door.

The next evolution of social recruiting

Retail recruiting has never been more challenging, but social media brings opportunity

With the extremes of the pandemic, seasonal hiring surges, rampant and high turnover, and fierce competition for skilled labor across all levels of the organization, retail talent acquisition teams must continually adapt to keep their businesses on track.

Social recruiting can help you keep pace with your high-volume hiring needs while keeping your employer brand front and center, ensuring you are top of mind for active as well as passive job seekers. Your next job candidate can likely be your current customer, and vice versa. That likelihood has never been higher than today when social media content consumption, posting, and online purchases have spiked during the pandemic. This is true for both consumers and job seekers: over 60% of job seekers increased their social media usage in 2020, nearly half of whom increased it by at least an hour a day.

At a moment when buyer and job seeker attention has increasingly turned to social media, retail brands can’t afford to leave good candidates, and potential customers, on the table. But how do you drive more potential hires and sales to your door without driving costs, or your recruiting team, up the wall? Luckily, we have the answer—and yes, it’s a bit like magic.
