WebsiteIntroduction
As a growing and thriving international brand, Krispy Kreme is continually seeking ways to streamline processes while focusing on the guest experience. In 2010, the principal brand, which began in 1937, desired ways to be selective in hiring for hospitality while automating the hiring process. At the time, the entire process was manual and the company did not see how the employment application was helping them select people who could perform, fit the culture of hospitality, and stay.
“Moving from paper to online applications has been a huge benefit to us. We no longer have to pass out paper applications at new store openings and have significantly increased the number of applications we receive each year.”
Becky Lancaster, Sr. Director Human Resources, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Corp.Streamline hiring process to highlight pertinent candidate qualifications
Krispy Kreme sought an experienced hiring solutions partner with a strong hospitality background. Using Hiring TrackerTM - Corvirtus’ Hiring Tracking System - Krispy Kreme implemented a pre-employment assessment as part of their hiring process.
Corvirtus also helped shorten the employment application with our pre-employment assessment while ensuring the most useful information was collected from candidates
Results
Among the notable results of our pre-employee assessment, the company has experienced a huge increase in applications and far-reaching changes to its hiring procedure.
- On average, 80,000 applications are received each year.
- Assessments have positively impacted background check and drug screenings.
- All corporate locations began using the hiring solution.
- Since, 11 franchises have implemented the process.
