Before JOBJACK, Baobab struggled with a manual recruiting process that relied on time-consuming bulk recruiting days
This meant that key operational staff were out of the workplace for days at a time, and the poor quality of candidates also meant they struggled to build a talent pipeline of store supervisors and managers. The paper-based manual process also created issues with POPIA compliance.
Baobab switched to the JOBJACK Assessments 2024 and uses the Platform to facilitate all applications, shortlist candidates and schedule interviews.
Since hiring for FIT, Boabab has seen a 56% reduction in terminations, allowing them to save R30,000 per month on staff uniforms. Having staff who are best suited for their roles has furthered store operations and has seen double-digit growth in kiosk revenue (manned exclusively by JOBJACK staff) and a significant increase in building their managerial talent pipeline.
“JOBJACK has helped us find high-calibre candidates that have a willingness to grow and develop, so we can build our talent pipeline.”
