Staff your floor.
Not your stress levels.
HeyHire finds sales associates, cashiers, and retail staff who live nearby, have experience, and can work your hours. You just pick who to meet.
Retail hiring is a constant scramble
Someone quits. Holiday rush hits. A new location opens. And every time, you're back on Indeed hoping for the best.
Retail's quit rate is 50% higher than the national average. You're not just hiring to grow. You're hiring to keep the lights on.
Recruiting, training, and the weeks of understaffed shifts while a new hire learns the floor. Every departure costs nearly $5,000.
Retail is faster than most industries, but 25 days is still too slow when your holiday rush starts next week and you're three people short.
Job boards weren't built for the speed and volume retail demands. HeyHire was.

Last holiday season we were scrambling to hire 30 people across four stores. We posted on every job board and got hundreds of applications from people who lived 45 minutes away. This year we used HeyHire and had all 30 positions filled two weeks before Black Friday. Every single hire lived within 10 minutes of their store.
Common questions from retail operators
HeyHire uses SMS instead of email to reach candidates. That single change gets you an 85% response rate within 15 minutes, compared to the 20% you get on Indeed or ZipRecruiter. Combine that with AI screening that filters out unqualified applicants before they reach your inbox, and most retail stores fill positions in 2 days or less.
All of them. Sales associates, cashiers, stock associates, key holders, shift leads, visual merchandisers, receiving clerks, loss prevention associates, assistant managers, and store managers. Whether you run a boutique, a chain, or a big-box store, HeyHire has templates for every retail role.
This is exactly what HeyHire was built for. When you need 20 people by Black Friday, post all your roles at once and get a wave of local applicants via SMS in hours, not weeks. Bulk post across locations, screen with AI, and staff up in days. Pause postings with one click when the season ends.
Our AI scores every applicant on previous retail or customer service experience, shift availability (including evenings, weekends, and holidays), and proximity to your store. You can also set custom filters like bilingual skills, POS system experience, or keyholder certification.

Stores using HeyHire see 60% fewer no-shows.
