Case Study: Jimmy John's Franchise Group saves hours on hiring and onboarding with Workstream

Jimmy John's Franchise Group cuts weekly hiring tasks by 87.5% with Workstream

A Jimmy John's franchise group with 12 locations faced significant administrative slowdowns due to a fully manual, paper-based hiring and onboarding process. Executive Vice President Deb Merrill and her managers were spending up to 30 hours per location weekly on paperwork, slowing hiring and frustrating applicants. They turned to Workstream's HR and onboarding platform to digitize these operations.

By implementing Workstream, the group digitized applications, onboarding, and document management, allowing applicants to apply via text and complete paperwork digitally. This reduced the time Deb Merrill spent on weekly hiring tasks from four hours to between 30 and 60 minutes, an 87.5% reduction. Workstream also streamlined manager workflows and improved the applicant experience, leading to faster hiring and easier payroll processing.
