Saving $55K/Month in GM Time—Boosting Speed & Quality for Chicken Salad Chick

At Chicken Salad Chick, the fast casual brand serving made-from-scratch chicken salad with Southern hospitality, growth was held back by slow and inconsistent hiring.

General Managers were spending hours each week on recruiting tasks like reviewing resumes and scheduling interviews, taking focus away from delivering the warm, welcoming guest experience the brand is known for.

On top of that, their previous system with Workstream and UKG created inefficiencies that slowed hiring even further.
