The importance of preserving the customer experience

From e-commerce empires to local mom-and-pop shops, retail has undergone some of the most drastic operational changes in recent years.

Online orders, curbside pick-up, and experiential shopping comprise “omnichannel retail,” a new subset of the industry that calls for highly skilled workers and on-the-job technology training.

Customer service is at the heart of retail, and who you hire can directly impact your business and profits. Let Fountain help you find the right personalities to represent your brand in all corners of retail.

How Retailers Can Leverage Technology in Their Recruiting Strategies: Part 1

If you’re hiring in retail, you’re facing:

Steady employment demand during the past year, with department stores adding another 15,000 jobs in March 2023 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)

A nearly 4.5% quit rate in 2021 (a 35% jump from the previous year), which has left employers needing to replace staff in 2022 and beyond (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
