Unicru(R) Inc. today announced that Pathmark Stores Inc.
(Nasdaq:PTMK) has extended its contract for the Unicru Hiring
Management System for Grocery through June of 2008. Since 2004,
Pathmark has leveraged the system's ability to increase operational
efficiencies and quality and productivity of the company's over 22,000
frontline associates within 141 store locations. Today 60 grocery
banners, including one-third of the nation's top 25 chains, leverage
Unicru's system to select the most productive and dependable
associates from the produce aisle to the corporate office.
With Unicru in place, Pathmark has achieved significant
operational improvements and savings by:
-- Tracking an applicant's referral source (i.e. advertising,
associate referral) to help Pathmark spend recruiting dollars
wisely.
-- Identifying an applicant's eligibility for Work Opportunity
Tax Credits (WOTC) to increase tax credit capture.
-- Reducing the number of early quits as well as fewer
involuntary separations to improve associate retention and
performance.
-- Providing a seamless integration of multiple systems and
processes to improve efficiency and focus resources on people
rather than paper.
Bob Joyce, EVP of human resources at Pathmark, acknowledges
Unicru's ability to put managers back on the floor where they're
needed most. "By pre-screening each candidate and identifying exactly
whom we want to bring in for an interview, Unicru's eased our
administrative workload and allowed our managers to devote more time
to our customers. It was a logical decision to extend our partnership
with Unicru."
Chris Marsh, president and CEO at Unicru, has great respect for
Pathmark and its quest to remain a top competitor in the fierce
grocery market. "The competition to hire the best associates is
strong, especially in this industry. Smart companies like Pathmark are
successfully streamlining operational costs while simultaneously
improving the quality and productivity of their frontline. Pathmark's
renewal is a strong vote of confidence for Unicru both as a solution
and as a business partner."
