# 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

allowing them to prepare for their first day faster.
