Slim Chickens

About Slim Chickens

Slim Chickens started with a mission to bring a dose of that southern hospitality to a fast, casual setting—serving fresh handmade food to the communities they serve. When they discovered there was a niche to fill, they rallied where lots of great startups begin, from their garage! Tireless testing and a laser focused vision launched the first Slim Chickens restaurant in Fayetteville, Arkansas, 2003, and how has over 60 locations.

Life Before Netchex

We spoke with Lydia, their Payroll and Benefits Manager, who has been working with Netchex since they made the switch in 2016. In her spare time, Lydia loves to write music and spend time with her family.

Why We Were (And Are) The Best Solution

With a lot on her plate and new hires constantly rolling in, Lydia needed a more efficient onboarding system. With NetGuide, the onboarding process is easy and customizable for each employee, offering complete employee life-cycle management. At Slim Chickens, Lydia not only uses the basic tasks to get new hires onboarded, but she has custom tasks based on their position codes and job types. Depending on their role, Netchex sends specific tasks to these pre-selected people to complete without having to send out any additional notifications. These advantages have automated many manual tasks Lydia was performing before, saving her valuable time to focus on other priorities in her job.

But before she can onboard anyone, Lydia has to make sure she has the right candidates for the many jobs they hire at Slim Chickens. To make this happen, she turns to NetRecruiter, our powerful applicant tracking system that streamlines recruiting, interviewing, and candidate scoring to help you secure hires. NetRecruiter is where they generate their job postings using templates that post to popular job sites directly through the portal. Resumes are pre-filtered to make sure you’re reviewing the most qualified and relevant candidates, saving you time and ensuring the best fit and future for your company. Internal communication is streamlined with the ability to share and rate candidates with co-workers, not to mention implementing simple and consistent communication with candidates.

From hire to retire, Netchex manages the entire employee experience for the employees of Slim Chickens, making the daily tasks of Lydia and her co-workers more streamlined, simple, and efficient.
