CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stage Stores, Inc., a retailer dedicated to bringing brand name apparel, accessories, cosmetics, and footwear to small and midsize communities, has chosen the selection and hiring solution from Kronos Incorporated to source, screen, and select best-fit job candidates with speed and efficiency. The solution will help Stage Stores – operating under the Bealls, Goody’s, Palais Royal, Peebles, and Stage trade names – to standardize the hiring process across its more than 870 locations and select associates who will help drive sales and build customer loyalty.
News Facts
- Stage Stores is rapidly growing with more than 14,000 associates across 40 states. The Kronos selection and hiring solution will provide Stage Stores with a larger applicant pool by allowing candidates to apply for positions at multiple locations within the same geographic area with just one application.
- Prior to selecting Kronos, Stage Stores utilized a completely manual, paper-based hiring process. Store managers were responsible for sorting through thousands of job applications for each open position without the proper insight to identify best-fit-candidates.
- The Kronos solution will help store managers quickly filter and sort job applications to identify qualified and experienced candidates who are likely to stay with Stage Stores longer, be more productive, and deliver on the retailer’s promise to provide exceptional service.
- With Kronos, Stage Stores will also expedite the onboarding process, eliminating wasted time on paperwork. Pre-populated, new-hire paperwork will be generated electronically before an employee’s first day on the job. This will allow new hires to hit the sales floor faster, keeping the focus on store objectives and offering superior customer service instead of non-productive administrative work.
- Stage Stores has been a long-time user of the Kronos time and attendance solution in several distribution centers.
