Peak season needs people fast. Screen them as they apply.

Warehouses, retailers, hospitality and events all hire in waves - which can mean hundreds of people in a few weeks, at the busiest time of year for the managers doing the hiring. BeCareers invites every applicant to screen as soon as they apply, so your team only spends time on interviews and start dates.

Set the must-haves - availability for the peak dates, shifts, travel to site - once, before the rush.

Every applicant is screened

A short conversation in their own language, with the transcript and summary in your dashboard.

4

Interview and start

Your team spends its time on the people who can start, not on dialling.

What a screen looks like for peak roles

Every applicant gets a short conversation about the must-haves you set. You get the result:

  • Every applicant invited to screen as soon as they apply, day or night
  • A transcript and summary for each, against your must-haves
  • Side-by-side comparison, shared with your team and exported to your ATS
  • Your team's time back for interviews, not first-stage calls

Setup usually takes a day or less, but the best time to set up is before applications peak - so your criteria and questions are ready when the volume arrives. Use our guides for warehouse operatives, retail assistants, bar staff and delivery drivers.
