Case Study: Regis Corporation achieves recruiter-less, AI-driven high-volume hiring and an 86% reduction in time-to-hire with Symphony Talent

Recruiting in High Volume With Automation and Ai-Driven Technology

Regis Corporation, the largest employer of salon stylists, faced a high-volume hiring crisis: demand for stylists was rising even as cosmetology graduates declined, licensing and training requirements lengthened, and a complex corporate-and-franchise hiring model made it hard to deliver a consistent candidate experience. Regis needed a holistic, scalable approach to attract licensed talent and simplify hiring across multiple brands.

Kramer partnered with Symphony Talent to deploy a recruiter-less, data-driven recruiting model and a unified Regis Career Website with lead capture, programmatic media, smart spend and AI-driven automation. The fully automated pipeline enabled hiring managers to engage candidates within 24–48 hours, produced high-volume quality hires without recruiters, reduced hiring time by 86%, increased employee referrals to about 10% of applications, and allowed Regis to meet recruiting goals at scale.
