Retail staffing continues to face some of the toughest talent challenges: the extremes of seasonal hiring, rampant and high turnover, and fierce competition for skilled labor across all levels of the organization.
Compounding these challenges are the effects of an industry adapting to the rise of online retailing, digital marketing and media, and the emergence of the gig and sharing economy competing for temporary staff and seasonal hires.
As the retail industry evolves, so do the desired skills of its workforce. With more retailers embracing an omnichannel approach, their talent demands expand beyond the brick-and-mortar shop's sales associates and store managers to include candidates skilled in information technology, loss prevention, marketing, finance, merchandise sourcing, and more.
To attract this wider candidate audience, retail companies must actively build and protect their brand through new talent channels in order to compete for the best people.
CareerArc provides robust talent solutions to tackle retail’s toughest challenges. Built to leverage your social media and online presence and drive talent acquisition and employer branding ROI, CareerArc proudly serves as one of the leading retail hiring and staffing solutions on the market.

"We quickly saw how CareerArc could impact both our recruiting and employer branding efforts. But what we didn’t expect was how social recruiting would also improve our social media marketing results... Job posts are now one of our highest drivers of paid traffic; they consistently perform better than ads promoting products and services."
