Job Description

The company was looking for the head of the cash desk department for a large hypermarket in the regional center in the city. Nikolaev.

Key requirements

  •    
  • Working with customer service, resolving conflict situations
  •

Challenge

It was a vacancy with high turnover before — 3 managers changed in 2 years. The team needed a leader, not a “controller”.

What we did

       
  • An in-depth interview was conducted with HRBP and two senior cashiers
  •    
  • Realized that you need a woman/man with authority and “soft rigidity”
  •    
  • Launched search in three sectors: supermarkets, gas stations, pharma
  •    
  • Created a situational task: “change plan for 100 days”
  •    
  • Tested for stress tolerance and leadership style

     

Result

Closed in 25 days. Candidate with experience in WOG and ATB. After 1 month, the turnover of cashiers decreased by 40%.
