As part of Iconn, the largest convenience store group in Mexico, 7-Eleven operates alongside other key brands under Iconn’s portfolio, such as Petro Seven, MAS+, and MercaDía. Together, these operations serve millions of customers daily and are essential to maintaining Iconn's strong market presence.
The Challenge
As 7-Eleven grew its presence across the country, it struggled with slow hiring processes that negatively impacted store performance. The primary issues included:
High Volume of Applications
Managing thousands of daily applications across numerous locations was time-consuming for recruitment teams.
Manual Processes
Iconn's reliance on manual screening processes slowed down the time-to-hire, resulting in unfilled roles and operational delays.
Slow Response Times
Candidates were often left waiting for extended periods, leading to high drop-off rates and missed opportunities for hiring top talent.
The Solution
7-Eleven partnered with Talkpush to automate and accelerate its recruitment processes. By implementing a comprehensive recruitment automation platform, 7-Eleven was able to optimize hiring for store-level positions and enhance candidate experience through several key features:
