Innovative C-Store Company Fuels Its Hiring Processes with PeopleMatter Hire

North Charleston, SC, December 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Ricker Oil Company, Inc., a Midwestern company providing high-quality fuels, clean convenience stores, and marketing/supply services, announced that it will implement PeopleMatter Hire™ in its 50 Ricker’s convenience store (c-store) locations to help find, hire and manage its workforces. Ricker’s will deploy the PeopleMatter talent management system to automate and streamline its hiring and onboarding tasks, such as applicant tracking, background checks, hiring assessments and onboarding paperwork.

Ricker’s has valued a strong commitment to the community, a sense of pride to its customers, and a long history of corporate trust since the company was founded in 1979. Ricker’s chose PeopleMatter as its HR technology provider because of their shared passion for people and innovative technology that can motivate and engage a tech-savvy workforce. PeopleMatter Hire combines these values in a talent management solution that also consolidates and automates all hiring tools into one, easy-to-use system. Hire’s simple, clean user interface and ability to translate into multiple languages ensures high internal adoption and a greater return on investment.

Ricker’s is also a pioneer in the c-store industry for its social media and mobile apps success. Ricker’s appreciates the PeopleMatter product ecosystem’s seamless integration with social media tools and applications that will keep its workforce motivated and engaged as the company expands.

"PeopleMatter Hire reinforces our mission to provide a top-quality customer experience in our stores,” said Quinn Ricker, president of Ricker Oil Company. “With more than 600 employees, we need a system that can keep up with all of the HR tasks our managers deal with daily, and one that can find employees who match our business values to keep turnover down. PeopleMatter Hire is that system.”

“Our automated tools help simplify and streamline complicated HR tasks so managers can focus on engaging their workforce and providing excellent customer service,” said Nate DaPore, PeopleMatter president and chief executive officer. “PeopleMatter Hire quickly finds outstanding talent that will further the Ricker brand and build their organization.
