Case Study: Fortune 500 Retailer achieves 110% of hiring goals with Talemetry

Fortune 500 Retailer Reaches 110% of Hiring Goals With National One-Day Seasonal Hiring Program

A Fortune 500 U.S. apparel and home retailer—operating 870+ stores, roughly 97,000 associates and $12.5B in revenue—faced intense competition for seasonal talent and needed a way to scale high‑volume hiring while driving broader adoption of its Talemetry CRM and recruitment marketing tools.

Working with Talemetry, the retailer ran a coordinated national one‑day hiring event using targeted email and text campaigns, social and in‑store outreach, and the Talemetry Source & CRM to manage candidates. The campaign drove 75,000 applications overall (31,000 from email), produced 18,000 job offers in one day, ultimately delivered 28,851 hires (110% of hiring goals) with only a 1% background‑check fail rate, achieved far higher text engagement (click rates 10x email), and contributed to a measurable sales lift and industry recognition.
