Fast hiring to keep your grocery teams well-stocked

Changes in consumer behavior work in grocery’s favor

Rapidly changing consumer behavior has transformed grocery shopping from an in-store errand to a task that only requires a few clicks. Shoppers have pivoted to online ordering, grocery delivery, and curbside pickup, but it’s not all bad news for the world’s grocers.

A shift toward e-commerce presents an opportunity for new positions in inventory management, shelf restocking, and warehouse associates to manage deliveries.

But in order to attract this new wave of workers, recruiters need to modernize their hiring practices by moving away from legacy systems and adopting a Labor ATS that simplifies functions and workflows, and enables flexible, intuitive hiring that can be easily replicated across multiple locations.

If you’re hiring in grocery sector, you’re facing:

• An 11.7% growth in online grocery sales over the next
five years.

• A record-high quit rate of nearly 6%, which did not
change between 2021 and 2022.

With Fountain:

• Hire your team members in as little as four days,
compared to the industry average of approximately
three weeks.

• Applicants can set up bank information, complete and
clear background checks, and submit federal and state
onboarding documentation in as little as nine hours,
allowing them to prepare for their first day faster.
