Purpose-built for high-volume frontline employee roles, Rapid Hire can help eliminate the traditional job application with AI- and mobile-first conversational messaging to engage candidates, and move qualified applicants to interviews in minutes, not days \u2014 and into productive roles in days, not weeks.<\/p><p>\nFor DHG, the pace and scale of its frontline operations made UKG Rapid Hire the perfect solution. With 1,500 frontline workers at more than 20 locations including restaurants, bakeries, inns, and gift shops, DHG depends on a steady pipeline of talent \u2014 including servers, prep cooks, housekeepers, and retail staff \u2014 to deliver exceptional customer service. The organization receives 50 to 60 applications per day across its hospitality group, making speed and responsiveness critical in a highly competitive labor market.<\/p><p>\n\u201cHiring in hospitality is nonstop \u2014 it\u2019s constant,\u201d said Erika Kamph, Vice President of Human Resources at DHG. \u201cBefore UKG Rapid Hire, scheduling interviews with even the best candidates could take days. Now, candidates can apply and book an interview in minutes, and in many cases, they\u2019re interviewing the same day. It helps us define what we\u2019re looking for upfront and connect with the right candidates faster, which is especially important for harder-to-fill roles.\u201d<\/p><p>\nUKG Rapid Hire uses AI to engage frontline candidates the moment they express interest, initiating an immediate text-based conversation. AI then guides candidates through role-specific screening questions and captures their skills and availability. When candidates are ready to interview, they can view and select available days and times that work for them. For DHG, the impact has been significant: the organization reports reduced interview scheduling time for high-turnover frontline roles to under four minutes and that it moves 58% of qualified applicants into interviews.<\/p><p>\nThe platform also empowered site managers at DHG to take a more active role in hiring over the past three years. In most locations, HR is not involved in interviewing. Instead, managers review candidates, conduct interviews as part of their already busy day-to-day operational leadership, and make final hiring decisions. After just two initial training sessions, leaders independently manage hiring, reducing administrative burden on HR while accelerating decision-making and getting new hires in the door and scheduled to work faster.<\/p><p>\n\u201cOur managers are directly involved and able to move quickly,\u201d said Kamph. \u201cThey review applicants, make decisions, and the system handles communication \u2014 from interview scheduling to follow-ups \u2014 saving significant time for our HR team. Once someone is hired, they often start within two to three days. There\u2019s no waiting.\u201d<\/p><p>\nDHG has created a faster, more responsive hiring process, one that benefits both managers and candidates. The hospitality group has improved the overall candidate experience while reducing reliance on external job boards.<\/p><p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re spending less money on job boards and relying on them far less,\u201d Kamph said. \u201cRapid Hire gets our jobs out where they need to be, and candidates can apply through our website on any device and go straight into the process. This has been a game changer for us. It gets candidates in quickly, makes the process easier for our managers, and allows us to keep up with the pace of our business.\u201d<\/p><p>\n\u201cHiring in hospitality is directly connected to the guest experience. When roles aren\u2019t filled quickly, it impacts service, team workloads, and, ultimately, the customer,\u201d said Amy Brar, General Manager, Workforce Management at UKG. \u201cUKG Rapid Hire is designed specifically for fast-paced, frontline environments, helping organizations move candidates from application to first shift quickly and confidently. By streamlining hiring as part of day-to-day operations, hospitality teams can stay staffed, support their people, and deliver the level of service their guests expect.\u201d<\/p><p>\n<b>Supporting Resources<\/b><\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nAbout <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fdhgroup.com%2F&amp;esheet=54541617&amp;newsitemid=20260526194879&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Dutchman+Hospitality+Group&amp;index=3&amp;md5=ce06fad47a2705b93f2095f5d231e3bb\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\"><b>Dutchman Hospitality Group<\/b><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>\nFollow UKG on <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FUKGInc%2F&amp;esheet=54541617&amp;newsitemid=20260526194879&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Facebook&amp;index=4&amp;md5=e5e90ff9f7b232fe05ff11218da67310\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\"><b>Facebook<\/b><\/a>, <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fukginc%2F&amp;esheet=54541617&amp;newsitemid=20260526194879&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Instagram&amp;index=5&amp;md5=2ebad911069c801a459017096925fcf1\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\"><b>Instagram<\/b><\/a>, <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fukg&amp;esheet=54541617&amp;newsitemid=20260526194879&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=LinkedIn&amp;index=6&amp;md5=de90b7739bb66c44b90f01f9593a6d5c\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\"><b>LinkedIn<\/b><\/a>, <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40ukginc&amp;esheet=54541617&amp;newsitemid=20260526194879&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=TikTok&amp;index=7&amp;md5=65e9345d6731fbf68b958768a16c8c23\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\"><b>TikTok<\/b><\/a>, and <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fc%2FUKGinc&amp;esheet=54541617&amp;newsitemid=20260526194879&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=YouTube&amp;index=8&amp;md5=f2bbc5a6eb4b703730f6832ffb8acf5c\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\"><b>YouTube<\/b><\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<b>About UKG<\/b><\/p><p>\nUKG is a leading global AI platform for HR, pay, and workforce management.
