Case Study: Sports Basement transforms hiring efficiency with Workstream

Sports Basement - Customer Case Study

Sports Basement, a Bay Area sporting goods retailer with 10 stores and about 800 employees, needed a better way to manage high-volume hourly hiring in a market with extremely low unemployment. Their old process relied on paper applications, manual email and phone follow-up, and limited visibility across stores, making it difficult to find and track applicants efficiently.

Workstream replaced that manual approach with a fully mobile, automated hiring platform that put applications, interview scheduling, and store-level performance on one dashboard. With Workstream, Sports Basement posted 27 positions in nine months and received 277 applications in a week, while seeing more interviews scheduled, more applicants show up, and significantly less time spent on hiring tasks.
