New options are competing for retail talent.

Outdated hiring processes yield outdated skillsets.

Success in the post-pandemic retail industry requires staff with new skills like digital fluency and customer-centricity. Competitive businesses must update their retail recruitment strategies to assess key modern competencies.

It’s challenging to “up-skill” existing retail workers.
