Expert Tips to Fast-Track Retail Hiring Before the Holidays

Retail hiring is expected to be challenging in 2023, with nearly three-fourths of retailers anticipating worker shortages in-store and 56% expecting shortages in warehouse roles. Retailers are competing with gig economy employers for talent, particularly among younger candidates who value flexibility and work-life balance. To attract a wider range of job candidates, retailers can promote their commitment to diversity and inclusion, partner with organizations serving underrepresented populations, and use fair chance hiring policies. Creating a great candidate experience through transparency, respect for candidates' time, and personalized interactions is also crucial. Investing in employee development programs, such as skills training and clear career paths, can help retain existing employees and attract new ones. Finally, leveraging technology to streamline the hiring process, including automation of background checks, can accelerate retail hiring.
