Case Study: Kava Restaurants cuts time-to-hire and boosts hiring wins with Landed

Kava Restaurants cuts time-to-hire to 4 days with Landed

Kava Restaurants, a Tim Hortons franchisee, faced a significant hiring challenge as it expanded across Michigan. In smaller towns with limited talent pools, the company struggled to staff quickly. General managers were burdened with manual tasks and high interview no-show rates, hindering their ability to uphold their "people first" motto. To address this, Kava turned to the vendor Landed and its services, including Generative AI and Customizable Vetting.

Landed solved this by sourcing applicants from over 80 job boards and engaging candidates within minutes. The platform scheduled interviews in under 10 hours and used automated reminders to reduce no-shows. This allowed general managers to save 35 hours per week on administrative work. As a result, Landed helped Kava decrease its time-to-hire from 12 days to just 4 days and achieve an applicant-to-interview conversion rate that is double the industry average.
