How Pieology tripled their applicant pool with Workstream

Pieology, a pizza brand known for its customizable offerings, faced challenges in sourcing and hiring qualified employees quickly. By implementing Workstream's automated hiring processes, Pieology tripled its applicant pool in just one week, hiring over 700 applicants.

"One of my managers told me the other day, 'With Workstream, my hiring organizes itself. It's a dream!' It was then I knew we had made the right choice in partnering with Workstream on this crucial part of our business."

VP of Marketing and Human Resources of Hundal Companies

The problem

Managers can't hire fast enough

About Pieology

Pieology, founded in 2011, revolutionized the pizza industry with its customizable, fast-casual model. The brand allows customers to craft their own pizzas, choosing from a variety of fresh ingredients. Pieology's commitment to innovation and quality has led to its widespread popularity, establishing a lasting legacy in the competitive pizza market.

Hundal Companies is a family-owned franchise company headquartered in Livermore, California. They have 3 brandsJamba Juice, Carl's Jr., and Pieology Pizzeriaacross 50 locations throughout California and Utah.

The Pieology franchises held by Hundal Companies improved their hiring practices by posting job openings efficiently and processing applications faster.

For the Pieology brand, having fully staffed restaurants is especially important. Employees guide customers from start to finish in crafting their perfect pizza. As such, they are the face of the brand and are a huge factor in the customer’s overall experience in their store. It takes a lot of employees to keep pizzas flowing smoothly through the line, and because of this Pieology has to hire a lot of people to make sure they are always adequately staffed.

Hiring is by far their top challenge. One of the issues they face is recruiting qualified applicants quickly before they sign on for another position elsewhere.

Pieology's managers do all their own hiring, but they are often working the line as well, so they are unable to get back to the applicants right away. Once they do, it can be a game of phone tag. And managers often have to use their personal phones to text applicants since younger applicants don't check email as often

The manual interviewing and hiring process they had was time-consuming, tedious, and not getting the desired results.
