Hire across every store. In every language. At the speed retail actually runs.
Retail hiring is shift hiring. Multi-location, multi-language, multi-seasonal — and always urgent. Taskflow Recruit handles the screening so your district managers and store leads can focus on the people who actually show up.
Retail hiring is a logistics problem, not a sourcing problem.
Your sourcing is fine. You get applicants. The problem is what happens next: scheduled phone screens that 50% of candidates ghost, district managers playing phone tag, bilingual candidates filtered out by monolingual recruiters, seasonal surges that overwhelm your team for 8 weeks every fall.
The shelf still needs stocking, the register still needs running, and your time-to-fill is 21 days when it needs to be 5.

Questions we get every week.
How do you handle seasonal hiring surges?
Volume scales linearly without setup changes. Most retail customers ramp 5–10x during peak season; we handle it without per-call overhead changes.
Can we screen for asset-protection / loss-prevention roles differently?
Yes. Cash-handling, loss-prevention, and integrity-sensitive roles get a dedicated rubric template that scores on different dimensions.
Multi-language support across regions — how does it work?
We support most major languages found in U.S. retail (Spanish, Tagalog, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, Haitian Creole, French) plus 40+ international languages.
Does this work for retail franchise models where each store hires independently?
Yes. Each store gets its own number or extension, its own rubric, its own scorecard delivery. Centralized billing and analytics across the franchise.
How do you integrate with retail-specific ATSes (Paradox, Fountain, etc.)?
Native integrations with Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Workday, BambooHR. Paradox, Fountain, and Phenom available via webhook.
