Automation helps engage and hire strong candidates

For Tim Sweetman, quickly hiring and onboarding high caliber candidates is an important part of being an Owner/Operator. The hardest part? Keeping them engaged in the process without losing them to the competition.

"The team at Workstream sees their customers as a gift. If you're going to sign up with Workstream, you're going to be given immense value now and into the future."

Hiring the right people

About Tim Sweetman

Industry: Restaurant

 

Tim understands that the first step to keeping his customers happy is hiring the right people. “Our customers deserve to have great employees that are serving them,” he explains, “We don’t want to waste any time or run short staffed and give customers a bad experience because we are struggling to onboard somebody or wasting time on administrative tasks.” 

The question, though, was how?

Attracting great talent wasn’t the problem. The problem was keeping applicants engaged long enough to actually hire them. With no way for candidates to track their application status, they would resort to calling Tim for updates. They were often getting lost in the shuffle or quickly snagged by competitors. Rather than filling an open role in a few days, it  took as long as several weeks. 

A manual onboarding process followed, requiring new hires to learn the platforms, apps, and software needed to do their job. For Tim, this is one of the hardest aspects of hiring new employees. “No matter how good we’re going to be, we’re going to have turnover at some point.To have to reteach a tool is really really difficult. It’s also really difficult to have multiple apps that you’re having to learn and implement.” Jumping back and forth between several different apps is confusing and takes up too much time.

Tim knew there had to be a better approach.

The solution

Streamlining HR tasks through automation and consolidation

Once Tim discovered Workstream, he realized it was what he had been searching for. It ticked all the boxes and solved his number one pet peeve: wasted time. By automating the recruiting, hiring, and onboarding processes, plus consolidating his tech stack, Workstream helped save time and alleviate the burden of switching through a mess of apps.

All-in-one platform

Tim put it best: “Time is money for us. We need people who are serving customers. We don’t want to waste a lot of time doing other things. Before Workstream, there were a number of areas that we would have to manually import into an HR platform. It just didn’t speak well. And now with a click of a button, everything is placed into our HR platform. Someone is onboarded literally in an instant. There’s a ton of time saved there. It allows employees to just jump right in.”
