Applicant Flow Issues
Smashburger faced substantial challenges with their applicant flow requirements, particularly for vital positions across their South and North Carolina locations. Ranging from General Managers to Cooks and Cashiers, these roles were consistently plagued by low applicant numbers.
Despite utilizing established sourcing platforms like Snagajob and Indeed, the low candidate flow failed to meet the demands of crucial job vacancies. The few candidates that did apply often didn’t have the proper qualifications for hiring managers to make convincing hires.
Solution
Smashburger employed Hireline to address their applicant flow challenges. By utilizing Hireline, they ventured beyond conventional job board tools and leveraged social media to precisely target suitable candidates with programmatic ads.
This approach extended their candidate reach, tapping into passive job seekers who were more active on social media than they were on job boards. Moreover, Hireline facilitated a streamlined screening process through a dedicated chatbot, ensuring that candidates were aligned with crucial factors like commute, availability, and experience.
This enabled Smashburger to source ideal candidates who were previously unaware of their opportunities and effectively fill their pipeline with strong talent.
Results
Smashburger achieved remarkable outcomes in resolving their applicant flow challenges with Hireline. Within just a week of implementation, their applicant flow surged by 6 times the usual volume.
Beyond sheer quantity, Smashburger secured high-quality candidates which allowed them to quickly fill crucial General Manager and Assistant General Manager positions that were open for over a month within a mere two-week timespan.
