BI-LO Renews With Kronos To Continue Hiring Best-Fit Employees

Kronos Incorporated recently announced that BI-LO, a grocery store chain with 207 locations serving Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, has renewed its contract for the selection and hiring solution from Kronos.

News Facts

• Customer service is a key differentiator for supermarkets. Using Kronos' unique selection science, BI-LO is able to identify candidates who are likely to perform better and stay longer. Hiring managers spend less time weeding out unqualified applicants and are able to fill positions more quickly.
• A key reason for staying with Kronos is a desire to provide potential employees with a great applicant experience. With Kronos, applicants create one profile to apply for multiple jobs, easily upload their resume, and sign up to receive emails about job openings.
• Once an applicant is hired, Kronos enables such time-saving measures as sending offer letters automatically, sharing data with BI-LO's HRIS system, and enabling many on-boarding activities to occur remotely.
• Another important benefit of the Kronos solution is that BI-LO now has visibility into its entire pool of applicants. Prior to using Kronos, a candidate would apply at one location and if that location didn't need staff, but another location a few miles away did, there was no way to share applications or know of that need. With Kronos, candidates are pooled so that multiple locations have access to qualified candidates.
