I love it, I love it so much! With Rakuna, I handled 100+ candidates all on my own at the event and everything still went really smoothly. I can’t imagine not having this app with me at events. I’ll definitely need this app when I go out to recruit.

Speed and Quality: Balancing Efficiency and Effectiveness in Retail High Volume Recruitment
Speed vs. Quality in the Retail Industry
High volume recruitment in retail presents a unique challenge: filling frontline roles fast to meet daily operational needs while still hiring qualified, dependable people. The retail industry often experiences frequent turnover, seasonal spikes, and urgent staffing gaps—making bulk hiring an ongoing reality. But when the focus leans too heavily on speed, quality suffers. Ineffective hires can lead to higher training costs, poor customer experiences, and lower retention. So how can recruiters manage high volume recruitment with both speed and accuracy?
Pre-Screening: Filtering for Fit Early
To manage high volume recruitment more effectively, many retail hiring teams turn to candidate pre-screening tools. Digital assessments like skills tests, personality profiles, and job simulations offer a scalable way to evaluate large applicant pools quickly. These tools filter out unqualified candidates early, reducing the time spent on interviews and improving hiring outcomes. For retail organizations managing ongoing bulk hiring needs, integrating pre-screening into the application process creates a more efficient and consistent recruitment pipeline—without sacrificing candidate quality.
Attracting the Right Talent Faster
In high volume recruitment, attracting the right candidates from the start is critical. A strong employer brand helps retail companies stand out and attract job seekers who align with their culture and values. Whether you’re conducting seasonal mass recruitment or filling dozens of roles at once, clearly communicating your workplace environment, mission, and growth opportunities can dramatically improve candidate quality. When job seekers resonate with your brand, they’re more likely to apply—and stay—reducing wasted time and boosting hiring efficiency.
Speedy Interviews Without Sacrificing Integrity
For retail recruiters engaged in high volume recruitment, optimizing the interview process is essential. Structured interviews with standardized questions and scoring systems promote fairness and speed across a high number of applicants. When combined with technology like automated interview scheduling, reminders, and virtual interviews, hiring teams can reduce bottlenecks and move candidates through the funnel faster. These tools are especially useful for mass recruitment campaigns where efficiency must scale without compromising the integrity of the process.
Questions about Event & Campus Recruiting Solution?
What kind of devices is compatible with Rakuna Recruit?
Rakuna Recruit mobile app is now available on the Apple App Store and Android Play Store. Users can deploy the app on iOS and Android devices.
How does the OCR technology work?
Rakuna’s Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which is AI-based and specifically designed for recruiting, automatically parses the following information from paper resumes:
Full Name (required) / Email (required)School / Institution (if applicable) / Major (if applicable) / GPA (if applicable) / Graduation date (if applicable)
In case of low-quality snapshots, our team of Event Operators will assist the process and notify customers of unidentified candidates via email.
How long does it take for the parsing to be done? (for the information to show up on the My Candidate’s list)
Snapshots are handled in batch, and processing time may vary depending on the quantity, image quality, etc. But the parsing job has always been completed shortly after an event is over. Therefore, when your team returns to your office, all the snapshots should have been processed and ready to view.
Can I use Rakuna Recruit without WiFi/Data?
Yes. When no Internet is available, you can still capture candidate information and evaluation. The app will store the data locally. Once you have a WiFi/Data connection, you can click the “cloud” symbol in the “My Candidates” screen to sync and upload all data to the cloud.See detailed instructions at our Knowledge Base.
What if candidates do not bring paper resumes?
Rakuna Recruit includes a ‘manual input’ option so you can let candidates enter their names and contact information so that you can reach out for an electronic version of their resumes after the event!
Want to process candidates even faster? Use our ‘Kiosk mode.’ Candidates can fill in the most basic information for your team to reach out to post events. Users can put kiosk mode in a ’lock state.’ Without your authentication, candidates will not be able to access other parts of the Event Recruit App, keeping your data strictly confidential.
