Employee theft in the retail industry is a big concern. Retail loss prevention can already be difficult enough to handle, but fraud from employees adds a whole new layer of security risk.

As we move towards the future of work — such as automation, digital transformation, and Industry 4.0 — strategic talent acquisition is more important than ever.

Hiring by referral is a popular way of filling job postings. It can seem less expensive than a traditional hiring process, especially if the recommendation is coming from a higher-up at the company or a trusted employee.

The right hire can fit seamlessly into your company culture, improve productivity, and even increase your business’s revenue.
