SAN ANGELO, Texas -- Town & Country Food Stores, using hardware provided by Phoenix Kiosk Inc., has completed an initial deployment of more than 150 self-service Sliivr kiosks to its various stores in western Texas and eastern New Mexico.
The units enable job applicants to submit an employment application via the Internet from the store in which they would like to work. The online application is routed directly to a hiring manager, who can review the application directly online. By moving the job application onto an Internet-enabled kiosk, the process [image-nocss] can be accelerated and applicants hired more efficiently and without taking time away from the store personnel, the company said.
Combining an online application with an in-store, Internet-enabled kiosk has solved the challenge of keeping rural stores adequately staffed in an efficient manner, Alan Work, CEO of Phoenix Kiosk, Tempe, Ariz.
Devin Bates, CIO of San Angelo, Texas-based Town & Country, said The kiosks look great in our stores, are attractive to potential applicants, and are built tough...a must in our store environments.
