Case Study: Lids reduces store manager time-to-hire with ZipRecruiter

Lids cuts time-to-hire by 31 days with ZipRecruiter

Lids Inc, a leading international sports retailer with over 1,100 locations, faced a significant hiring challenge. To support new store openings and combat high industry turnover, they needed to fill up to 10,000 roles annually but lacked a unified job posting strategy. Store managers used inconsistent methods that yielded poor results, making it difficult to meet their demanding hiring goals.

Partnering with ZipRecruiter, Lids implemented a company-wide approach for candidate sourcing. Using ZipRecruiter's AI matching and Resume Database, they proactively reached qualified and passive candidates. This solution led to a 15% increase in apply rates, a significant improvement in candidate quality, and decreased the average time-to-fill for store manager positions by 31 days. Lids now relies on ZipRecruiter as their primary recruitment source to support growth.
