HIREBREW PILOT BRIEF
Retail

WORKFLOW TO EVALUATE
From a branch vacancy to the first check-in.
Test the handoffs around a store associate role with central HR, a branch manager and a sample candidate.

HANDOFFS
Approve | Branch manager + HR
Agree the hiring need
Document the vacancy and agree the role requirements before recruiting. Use the requisition approval flow to make the next decision visible.

Interview | Recruiter + store manager
Bring local context to selection
Invite the manager into the interview process and capture structured feedback. Keep candidate questions and replies connected to the hiring journey.

Welcome | Store onboarding owner
Prepare a consistent first week
Assign introductions, role orientation and manager check-ins. Make ownership clear before the new colleague arrives at the branch.

Develop | Employee + manager
Build beyond the first day
Use goals, learning conversations and employee requests to support the next stage. Review what the new starter needs before repeating the process at another store.

PILOT SCOPE
Prove the experience with one store group.
Choose locations with different staffing and access patterns. Walk through hiring and employee support before deciding what should become standard across the network.

VALIDATION CHECKLIST
[ ] Test candidate and employee journeys on everyday mobile devices.
[ ] Agree which decisions stay local and which need central HR.
[ ] Review a first-week task plan with the managers who will use it.

BOUNDARIES
Shift planning, POS connections, attendance tracking and payroll execution are not included in this preview. Test connectivity and production permissions before rollout.

AI EVALUATION
An illustrative Brew AI draft can turn approved role expectations into a welcome checklist or first check-in outline. Managers review it for store context and practical language. It does not make staffing or performance decisions.
Example prompt: Draft a first check-in guide for a new store associate. Ask about role clarity, support and learning needs, without assuming sales results or attendance data.

NEXT STEP
Assign an owner, test with sample data, record gaps and agree acceptance criteria before any live rollout. This is a planning document, not a booking, service commitment or confirmation of production readiness.
