Starting point
The Challenge
Why traditional recruiting fails in retail
Seasonal Hiring Peaks
Christmas, Black Friday, sale season. Suddenly every store needs reinforcement. Traditional recruiting is too slow.
High Turnover in Sales
Part-timers, students, mini-jobbers. Many stay only briefly. You'd need to hire permanently.
Many Stores, Decentralized Recruiting
Each store has different needs. Central HR can't efficiently recruit for 50+ locations simultaneously.
Store Managers Have No Time
Store managers should be selling, not reviewing applications. But that's what happens when HR can't keep up.
Customer Orientation Hard to Test
Whether someone can sell well only shows in a conversation. But there's no time for conversations.
Applicants Expect Fast Responses
Retail applicants often need a job immediately. Wait too long and you lose them to the competition next door.
What if an AI agent assembled the perfect team for every store?
All Retail Positions
The AI agent recruits, screens, and qualifies candidates for all these roles.
The Solution for Retail
Every Store Staffed. Automatically.

Testimonials
What clients achieve with recruiting.ki
Managing directors, HR managers and recruiters on their projects with recruiting.ki.
First hire made through the platform
We used to depend on expensive agencies for every ad campaign: long feedback loops, high costs, little control. Today we create our campaigns entirely ourselves, ads and application funnel in one tool, in hours instead of weeks. With our very first own campaign we collected 15 applications within a week. A short time later we made our first hire through the platform.
Anna-Lena Becker
Managing Director, Die JobCommunity HR GmbH
Over 300 applications at around €5 per applicant
As a staffing agency with five branches, we constantly need applicants for blue-collar roles. Since July, recruiting.ki has brought us over 300 applications for production and warehouse positions, at around 5 euros per applicant. What matters most to us: applicants land directly in our HR4YOU via the integration, without anyone having to type anything in. Social recruiting has gone from a project to a running process for us.

Faster and a better fit every day
A platform that runs reliably, and people behind it who really understand us. We notice it every day: it is faster, it fits better, and when we have questions the right people are there immediately.
Philipp Hennemann
Managing Director, WorkflowX
Over 340 applications for four positions
We have been using recruiting.ki for quite some time now and have achieved truly top results with it: more than 340 applications for four positions. The campaigns deliver with great success, the platform runs cleanly on the technical side, and the support is helpful with every question and there for you right away.

Phone and WhatsApp agent handles pre-qualification
With the software I got a complete AI solution for social media recruiting. I now have three campaigns running that have already brought in a good number of applicants, at a comparatively low price of around 20 euros per applicant. The ads look great and modern and adapt perfectly to our company. What convinced me and my team most, though, are the automations in pre-qualification: the phone and WhatsApp agent takes care of the applicants, which saves a lot of time, and I can tell much faster who really fits.

5 campaigns, over 40 applications in 2 weeks
In just under two weeks we set up five ad campaigns completely on our own and received over 40 applications. New ones come in every day, and at surprisingly low prices: our third campaign is averaging €3 per applicant. The best part is the custom integration with our existing system: every applicant automatically lands where we work every day anyway. The system has fitted perfectly into our existing processes.

Absolutely. The agent can specifically ask about availability, desired hour model, and flexibility. Perfect for mini-jobs, working students, and part-timers who are especially in demand in retail.
Typically within a few days. The agent begins applicant acquisition immediately once the position is live. For new openings, we recommend starting 4-6 weeks in advance.
