With the current unstable retail job market, it is highly advised that organizations adopt an agile recruitment process that can scale to the market situation, acting as both a talent filter and conversion driver.
With significant global events like the appearance of the Covid 19 Pandemic and later global political instability, recruiters at one point struggled to manage high candidate volume due to unemployment, then immediately had to deal with a labor crisis with movements like "The great resignation".
An Agile recruitment process enables recruiters to effectively scale their hiring efforts, filter out talents when there are too many applicants and reduce the drop-off rate at the first sign of a talent shortage.

Have questions about Rakuna’s Campus & Event Recruiting Solutions?
Check out our detailed FAQs below!
What kind of devices is compatible with Rakuna Recruit?
Rakuna Recruit mobile app is now available on the Apple App Store and Android Play Store. Users can deploy the app on iOS and Android devices.
How does the OCR technology work?
Rakuna's Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which is AI-based and specifically designed for recruiting, automatically parses the following information from paper resumes:
- Full Name (required)
- Email (required)
- School / Institution (if applicable)
- Major (if applicable)
- GPA (if applicable)
- Graduation date (if applicable)
In case of low-quality snapshots, our team of Event Operators will assist the process and notify customers of unidentified candidates via email.
How accurate is your OCR technology?
Rakuna’s OCR has constantly been parsing resumes with over 99% accuracy rates, given the snapshots are taken in decent conditions by Mobile App users.
How long does it take for the parsing to be done? (for the information to show up on the My Candidate’s list)
Snapshots are handled in batch, and processing time may vary depending on the quantity, image quality, etc. But the parsing job has always been completed shortly after an event is over. Therefore, when your team returns to your office, all the snapshots should have been processed and ready to view.
Can I use Rakuna Recruit without WiFi/Data?
Yes. When no Internet is available, you can still capture candidate information and evaluation. The app will store the data locally. Once you have a WiFi/Data connection, you can click the “cloud” symbol in the “My Candidates” screen to sync and upload all data to the cloud. See detailed instructions at our Knowledge Base.
Can I customize the notes section and evaluation form?
Yes. You can create customized candidate evaluation forms and specifically assign them to each event.
What if candidates do not bring paper resumes?
Rakuna Recruit includes a ‘manual input’ option so you can let candidates enter their names and contact information so that you can reach out for an electronic version of their resumes after the event! Want to process candidates even faster? Use our ‘Kiosk mode.’ Candidates can fill in the most basic information for your team to reach out to post events.
Users can put kiosk mode in a 'lock state.’ Without your authentication, candidates will not be able to access other parts of the Event Recruit App, keeping your data strictly confidential.
Knowledge Snippet - 3 Important Retail Staffing Trends that Shape Your Next Recruiting Operation
If you are chasing after talented young candidates as a retail recruiter, check out these rising trends in the retail recruitment scene to fill opening positions with ease!
Adapt Agile Recruitment
Balance Between Experiences and Skill Assessment
At the height of the global pandemic, the disease pushed thousands of high-skilled workers to take up hourly positions in industries like retail. This drives not only the number of applicants but also the quality of candidates and creates very high expectations from hiring managers who begin to prioritize candidates' experience instead of skills.
This reliance on resumes and a candidate's experience instead of skills can have long-term repercussions as the world recovers as companies reject young candidates who have the right skills but lack experience.
While recruiting using past experience is an entirely valid approach, recruiters should balance it with evaluating the skill of each candidate.

Streamlined Recruiting with Technology
A good paycheck alone cannot effectively attract modern talent. Retail recruiters must also provide a compelling experience to win over candidates. Using your chosen recruitment solution, you can eliminate tedious manual tasks. Streamlining your process can reduce the average time-to-hire and give your recruiters more time to interact and craft solid relationships with candidates.
