## Story

“I’m in charge of 19 locations,” said Courtney Beach, director of the corporate store division for Pita Pit. “18 of my 19 managers would say hiring is their biggest problem.”

In order to attract and onboard the best candidates, Pita Pit has sped up its hiring process by trying to move from the interview to the hiring process within one to two days.

"Five years ago, Pita Pit operators would’ve conducted at least two rounds of interviews," Beach told Restaurant Business. "Now, corporate is telling franchisees to hire promising candidates on the spot and get them onto the next schedule."
