What if your strongest future leaders are already working in your frontline roles? At Valvoline Inc., 95% of operations leaders started in an hourly frontline role. That changes the entire equation. Because frontline hiring is not just about filling today’s store roles. It is about building tomorrow’s leadership pipeline. 📍 Valvoline is adding 100 to 150 company stores per year across the U.S. and Canada. So the challenge is not simply: • Can we hire enough people? • Can we move faster? • Can we keep stores staffed? It is bigger than that. • Can we bring in the right people at the right pace? • Can we protect service quality as we scale? • Can we turn hourly roles into real leadership pathways? That is what Jon Caldwell, SVP, Chief People Officer at Valvoline Inc. walked us through in Episode 3 of Frontline. And the answer is not what most people think. • Not speed at any cost. • Not automation replacing recruiters. • Not treating frontline roles as short-term labour. The real shift is building a system where hiring, onboarding, development, culture, and leadership pipeline all connect. Jon shares how Valvoline is: ⚡ Using technology to give recruiters more time back. 🌱 Strengthening its employer brand through “All Roads Lead to Valvoline” and “Bring What Drives You.” 🔁 Building consistency across hiring, onboarding, and development as the business grows. 🚀 Turning hourly roles into future leaders. Quantity. Quality. Speed. Cost. Culture. Leadership pipeline. That is the new frontline hiring equation. Because when your frontline teams deliver the service experience, hiring is not just a TA priority. It is a growth strategy. If you touch frontline hiring, or frontline leadership, this one is for you 👇

230,000 frontline workers across 4,000 sites in 69 countries. (See how Pepsico is designing one hiring process for all of them) • Different languages. • Different labour markets. • Different cultures. • Different local communities. • Different hiring managers, most of them never sat behind a desk. Steps that look "standard" to a global TA team sitting in HQ. But on the ground, that "standard" is exactly what breaks the candidate experience in 4,000 different ways. And the fix is not what most people think. • Not a global ATS rollout. • Not a bigger central recruiting team. • Not one process forced onto every market. • Not another vendor demo with a "scalable" promise. Just...systems thinking. That's what Blair Bennett, Senior Vice President, Global Talent Acquisition at PepsiCo, walked us through in Episode 2 of Frontline. • Conversational AI giving candidates clarity on roles, hours, pay, and career paths before they ever apply. • Transparency that helps candidates self-select in (or out) of the right opportunity. • Mobile-first tools meeting hiring managers where they actually work - in stores, plants, and on routes. • EVP and career pathing connected, so candidates see today's job and tomorrow's possibility. • Internal mobility, upskilling, and workforce planning treated as one system, not five separate projects. Hiring. Onboarding. Mobility. Workforce planning. Labour strategy. One system. Not a stack of disconnected initiatives. That's the shift. If you touch frontline hiring - this one's for you 👇

As expectations shift, the most successful TA teams are those leveraging conversational AI to meet candidates where they are (on their phones, in real-time). I’m excited we're hosting our next webinar featuring the team at Workday Paradox. We’ll be breaking down the shift toward "Conversational Recruiting" and how it impacts conversion rates and recruiter productivity. Key Takeaways: Why "Text-to-Apply" is winning. Reducing time-to-hire by 44%. Elevate Candidate Experience to 99.4% candidate satisfaction Building a human-centric process through automation. 👉 Registration is now open: https://w.day/4ra9ybO #Paradox, #Workday #Recruiting #HRTech #CandidateExperience #TalentAcquisition
