News Facts
- With more than 2,000 employees and 50 retail locations in Central Arizona, Goodwill needed a way to centralize and streamline hiring and HR processes across all locations.

- The addition of Kronos for hiring represents a next generation technology for Goodwill of Central Arizona. It is expected to provide more process flexibility and reporting capabilities compared to its previous homegrown system.
- Goodwill will work with Kronos to design assessments for specific positions in the stores to help hire better-qualified applicants who are likely to stay longer.
- Goodwill was drawn to Kronos' ability to provide a single HR system to contain all employee records, giving managers easy access to the information they need to reduce errors and enforce policies consistently.
