In today’s retail environment, HR teams and store managers are often overwhelmed by applicant volume and heavy administrative tasks. Through a dynamic fireside chat with a Senior Director at Dollarama, this session will provide you with concrete strategies to streamline your operations.

Going beyond a simple case study, we will demystify artificial intelligence in recruitment to show you how simple actions can give your teams their time back. You will discover how automating applicant screening allowed Dollarama to reduce the time managers spend on recruiting from 5 hours to 1 hour per week, while decreasing turnover by 28% and cutting the hiring cycle down to just 1.55 days.

You will leave with clear, actionable takeaways to apply these principles to your own reality, elevate your candidate experience, and make life easier for your frontline managers without overcomplicating your processes.
