The Problem

Retail hiring breaks when you need it most.

Seasonal peaks overwhelm your managers

Holiday, summer, back-to-school — every surge means your floor managers are recruiting instead of running the floor. That's not their job.

High-volume applications mean nothing

500 Indeed applicants looks great until 70% don't respond, 20% are unqualified, and 10% don't show up. You hired from the wrong 10.

Turnover restarts the problem every 90 days

Retail and hospitality turnover runs 60–100% annually. Every cycle costs 2–4 weeks of manager time — time they don't have.
Built for Volume

Scale up fast. No agency dependency.

Whether you need 3 seasonal associates or 300, Cleo delivers verified candidates at a flat per-hire rate — no minimums, no markup, no contracts.

On-demand hiring, any volume

Turn the flow on when you need it. Turn it off when you don't. Pay only for verified hires.

GPS-confirmed local candidates

Cleo confirms candidates are physically near your location before they enter your pipeline.

Multi-location in one dashboard
