They are also in charge of facilitating offer discussions, extending job offers, and ensuring a seamless onboarding process for new hires. Beyond active recruitment, the Retail Recruiter maintains a database of potential candidates for future openings, monitors market trends to keep the recruitment process competitive, and continuously seeks to improve recruitment practices and strategies to enhance the overall talent acquisition process.
