2. Skills coaching platforms
At a recent industry conference, retailers mentioned that they were working with companies who screen and coach potential hires even before the first interview. Sheetz Inc., an Altoona, Pa.-based convenience retailer with more than 500 stores, partners with LearnUp, a platform that offers online training and interview coaching to potential candidates. The prehire coaching company boasts a 10% to 30% lower turnover rate for those hired after working with the platform, compared to non-LearnUp hires.
