Leveraging Automation to Secure Genuine Connections with Top Talent.
Since 1964, Chick-fil-A has been home to the Original Chicken Sandwich with two pickles on a toasted butter bun. It's now one of the largest American fast food chains operating more than 2,672 restaurants across 47 states.
Chick-fil-A focuses on great customer service. This "A" grade quality is what makes the brand consistently top the charts for customer satisfaction in the fast food industry. And what drives this incredible customer service? People.
Chick-fil-A Oxnard began working with LANDED in mid-2020, after realizing that other hiring platforms could not screen for qualities they wanted and took too much manual upkeep. As a business that doubles down on quality customer service and food, Chick-fil-A needed to assess soft skills at the earliest stage of the hiring process while saving valuable manager time. Hiring with LANDED's automated vetting satisfied both of these pressing requirements.
Chick-fil-A stayed open throughout most of 2020, quickly switching their service to support curbside pick-ups and the ramp-up in food delivery.
With people moving their job search to their mobile phones during the pandemic, Chick-fil-A needed a way to source and evaluate potential employees digitally. It was impossible to get a holistic sense of candidates' personalities and customer service aptitude from old-school platforms, because they relied on old-school resumes. That's where LANDED came in.
LANDED‘s intelligent matching™ enables hiring managers to focus on what matters to them. With candidate video profiles, we are able to analyze 50+ data points and filter for criteria related to body language, communication ability, and more.
As a business whose core values demonstrate a people-first culture, hiring the right people was a huge priority for Chick-fil-A.
In the first two weeks of using LANDED, we matched 49 qualified candidates to Chick-fil-A Oxnard. Chick-fil-A wanted to get a glimpse of a candidate‘s core attributes like eye contact, positivity – who they were and how they answer questions in their video profiles. LANDED automatically vets candidates to move only qualified ones to the interview stage.
After hire, LANDED‘s candidates demonstrated the ability to interact well with guests and learn quickly on the job, cutting training time needed down to half v. before, from existing platforms.
