A pitch-perfect staffing solution for Citizens Bank Park

The challenge

Hiring for busy season

Previously, Aramark faced significant challenges with its hiring and onboarding processes at Citizens Bank Park in Pennsylvania. These lengthy and complex procedures not only reduced efficiency but also hindered their ability to retain long-term employees. The result was a cycle of staffing gaps and high turnover rates due to unfavorable staffing ratios, impacting overall operational effectiveness.

• Success in initial recruitment at job fairs, but challenges in staff retention during the summer season.
• Despite close-knit, family-like employee culture, high turnover rates observed, with staff resigning midseason for various personal reasons (i.e. long-term employees retiring after 15+ years of service!).
• Mid-season hiring challenges due to limited applicant interest for short-term, seasonal work.
• Existing strong team in place, with a focus on building on to make up for other departures.

The solution

From fairs to digital efficiency

What Aramark discovered in Jitjatjo was not just an app, but a partnership. The platform offered a user-friendly interface paired with a dedicated client success team, providing round-the-clock support. This holistic approach meant Aramark could seamlessly fill both short and long-term shifts, effectively bridging any labor gaps. The streamlined, efficient hiring and onboarding process Jitjatjo offered marked a significant departure from Aramark’s previous strategies, such as in-person job fairs, which had proven less effective. With Jitjatjo’s all-in-one platform, covering staffing needs became not just manageable, but effortless.
