Introduction
A growing food and beverage chain, FreshBites Café Group, with 20 locations across the UK faced escalating hiring demands during peak seasons. Manual screening and disjointed scheduling slowed down recruitment. By deploying LeoBrain’s AI-powered Applicant Tracking System, the brand streamlined hiring, cut the average time-to-hire by more than half, and built a stronger, service-first workforce.
Challenges Faced
Manual Resume Screening Overload
Sorting hundreds of applications manually delayed shortlisting suitable kitchen and front-of-house staff.
Seasonal Hiring Chaos
Last-minute hiring needs for peak dining seasons led to rushed and poor hiring decisions.
Inconsistent Candidate Evaluation
Different managers prioritized different criteria, causing delays and mismatches in final selections.
High Interview Drop-offs
Poor scheduling coordination led to high candidate no-shows for interviews.
Limited Visibility on Hiring Data
No unified system to track candidate progress, causing communication gaps and missed follow-ups.
Poor Team Collaboration
No centralized hub for HR and outlet managers to share feedback or rank candidates collaboratively.
