Christina Coyle is someone who has enjoyed the challenges of high-volume recruiting – perhaps the first person in Gerry Crispin’s memory to say that and mean it. When she came to McDonald’s she was given a blank slate to create a recruiting framework that didn’t rely so heavily on recruiters – because the recruiters for the restaurants are also the store managers. Enter, McHire. Since its launch last fall, the McHire automated solution has dramatically closed the hiring gap and reduced time to hire. “When you can craft and design a candidate-centric solution – a solution that is infused with hospitality – then when humans enter the process they are extending what has already felt like a high-touch experience.” Listen in as Christina shares more about the high volume hiring challenges at McDonald’s in our latest Up neXt episode.
