Wendy’s Gains Advantage in Hiring Workers

leave a comment »

Businesses are now hiring again, which is great news to all those unemployed people out there. This may be great for the unemployed, but for hiring managers within companies, this means more competition for workers. Wendy’s has recently had trouble with finding workers to staff all of their stores across the country, until recently. Wendy’s decided to take their application process to the internet with a company called JobApp Network, Inc. This allows all of the applications to be streamed online and allows the managers of the stores to not have to worry about fumbling through paper applications anymore. On top of what the company previously had on their applications, JobApp Network also adds a psychometric analysis, background check, and provides government compliance management. This is great for the managers because they now know that the potential employees that they are looking at are already pre-screened and qualified.

Another great feature that JobApp Network adds is the ability for the head HR Director, Scott McGarvey, to be able to see how the managers of each store handle the application and interview process as well as check if they are up to par with the rest of the company. Before the managers would just have all the paperwork and there was no real way to see if it was the manager’s fault that the store could not stay fully staffed. McGarvey’s favorite feature is the all-in-one hiring marketing kit. This includes cards, signs, and window clings that are sent to the store to help show when they are hiring for people to see and apply. For people who do not have easy access to the internet, JobApp Network also has a portal that people can apply to which easily gives them the same chance of being hired as someone with access to the internet does.

JobApp Network, Inc is a great company that helps people find jobs in today’s struggling economy. I think that companies can really benefit from their services and keep an eye on what their managers are doing. For all of you that have little marketing knowledge, their all-in-one hiring kit is a great way for you to be able to easily access lots of people to inform them you are hiring. This is best for franchise type restaurants or people who own more than one location, but it could also help people who only own one store as well. This can give all restaurants a little advantage in trying to reach the best employees, and every little advantage can go a long way.
