When hiring in the retail industry, recruiters often require a more specific set of characteristics from their candidates. The fast-paced nature of retail employment (vs other industries) means that any hiring of new employees must be fast, expedient and efficient in order to get the most out of your applicants.
Success in a retail role requires a combination of strong personality traits from communication, and following process to customer service and interpersonal skills.
Making the wrong appointment in a retail position can cause a significant amount of extra work for both shop floor workers and management teams.
