Case Study: Regis Corporation achieves an 86% reduction in time-to-hire with iCIMS

How One Talent Acquisition Leader Achieves High-Volume Results by Going Completely Digital

Regis Corporation, the largest operator of hair salons with 8,000+ locations and multiple brands, faced a rapidly tightening talent pool and urgent demand for thousands of stylists each year. With candidates often switching shops the same day, traditional recruiting couldn’t keep pace—Regis needed a faster, scalable way to fill high-volume hourly roles across franchises.

Regis built a fully digital recruiting tech stack with iCIMS and other integrated vendors, using AI-driven recruitment marketing on social, a streamlined ATS and conversational chatbot, empowered hiring managers, configurable preboarding, and automated workflows. The five-step approach cut overall time-to-hire by 86%, improved candidate experience and retention, enabled tens of thousands of hires annually without a single recruiter, and earned industry recognition for its results.
