Background

Jane owns a small coffee shop in a busy area of Liverpool.

She has a small team of dedicated employees, but is always on the lookout for new staff to help with the growing demand for her business. 

She typically receives many CVs when she posts job adverts (and also when she doesn’t!) but struggles to find the time to sort through them all to find the best candidates.

redwigwam provides businesses with AI-powered software to manage and pay their staff, plus attract and access a large, nationwide pool of flexible workers.

Challenge

Jane had been using traditional methods to find new staff, such as paying to post job adverts on job boards and social media platforms.

However, she found the process was time-consuming, expensive and often resulted in her hiring the wrong candidate. 

She wanted to find a more efficient way to hire the best people to fill her roles, and reduce the cost for doing so.

Solution

Jane decided to try redwigwam's recruitment software solution to help streamline her hiring process.

She created a job advert for a new barista position, which was automatically posted to redwigwam's network of job seekers and social media platforms.

Jane added three questions for candidates to answer and the software began screening candidates based on the job requirements and candidate qualifications using AI technology.

redwigwam then provided a shortlist of candidates for Jane to review.

These people had already been screened for their right to work in the UK and she was able to quickly review the shortlist of candidates and schedule interviews with the most promising candidates.

Results

Thanks to redwigwam's recruitment software solution, Jane was able to hire a new barista within two weeks of posting the job advert.

She was impressed with the quality of the candidates and how the software helped her to quickly identify the most qualified candidates.

She was also pleased with the cost savings, as the process was significantly less expensive than with her previous hiring methods.

Jane was so happy with the results and decided to continue using redwigwam for all her future hiring needs.

She was able to save time and money while finding the best candidates to help her small coffee shop continue to grow.
