Candidly

A hiring engine that
powers retail and hospitality.

Hiring never stops. Stores open, shifts change, and seasonal peaks create constant demand. Candidly embeds mobile-first recruitment, high-volume hiring and digital onboarding into the HR platforms your customers already rely on.

Retail & Hospitality
The challenge

Hiring never slows down.

Retail and hospitality recruitment moves fast. Your customers manage scheduling, payroll, compliance, and workforce operations in your platform, but hiring often happens somewhere else.

  • High-volume hiring

    Stores, restaurants and venues need to recruit quickly across multiple locations, often during seasonal peaks.

  • Mobile-first candidates

    Frontline workers expect to apply from their phone in minutes, not complete lengthy desktop applications.

  • Limited visibility

    Managers recruit locally while head office has limited visibility of vacancies, candidates, and hiring performance.

  • First-shift readiness

    Contracts, right-to-work checks and onboarding often delay new starters from becoming productive.

The Candidly answer

Complete the HR platform your customers rely on.

  • Easy apply

    Mobile-first application flows remove unnecessary steps, helping more candidates start and complete their applications.

  • QR code apply

    Candidates can scan QR codes on shop windows, receipts, posters or staff noticeboards and apply in minutes from their phone.

  • SMS candidate engagement

    Keep candidates engaged with interview reminders, updates, and offer messages delivered by SMS, reducing drop-off throughout the hiring journey.

  • Digital onboarding

    Automatically send contracts, compliance documents, and onboarding tasks as soon as an offer is accepted, so new starters are ready for their first shift.
