Reality in this industry

Know this?

The specific hurdles we've seen hundreds of times in this industry — and automate away.

Store needs 5 hires, headquarters decides — conflict

Store manager knows who fits; HQ decides on ad and budget. Recruiting Gym gives HQ control, the store speed — without a new hierarchy layer.

Local targeting is expensive on big job boards

An ad for "sales staff Munich-Pasing" reaches half of Bavaria via job-board logic. The AI targets a 3-km radius around the store — cost-per-application drops 60 %.

Q4 peak is predictable, still a surprise

Seasonal hires October–December are 60 % of your recruiting volume. The AI launches the campaign 12 weeks ahead and reactivates last year's pool.

Side-job candidates need different ads

Students don't respond to "45-hour permanent position with career path". The AI has dedicated funnels for side-jobs, mini-jobs, work-study — different funnel, different platform.

Trial day in retail is sensitive

Privacy, insurance, tax IDs before day one — otherwise the trial day creates stress. The coach collects this beforehand, you get a ready-made package.

Store manager has no time for 30 applications

Sort, check, respond — not in a 12-hour day. The AI pre-qualifies; 3 top profiles land on the store manager's desk, not 30.

Trial-day logistics

Store-manager pre-qualification

Top 3 instead of top 30 on the manager's desk.

Industry FAQ

What healthcare, construction, and hospitality customers ask.

We're a 12-store chain. How do we organize this?
Studio plan: own ad pipeline per store, central view for management. From 25 stores: Scale-up plan with multi-brand and district reporting.
We mix part-time and permanent. Do you have both?
Yes — different funnels, different funnel lengths. Part-time: 60-second funnel, mobile-first. Permanent: longer funnel with optional CV upload.
What if the store manager wants to recruit directly?
Store login with restricted view: only their own candidates. HQ sees all, can approve ads or steer centrally.
How do you handle AGG risk on candidate photos?
We recommend making photo upload optional — and not using it in pre-screening. Audit trail documents that the photo wasn't a decision criterion.

The next Q4 hires start in May.
