CHIPOTLE INTRODUCES NEW AI HIRING PLATFORM TO SUPPORT ITS ACCELERATED GROWTH

Published

on

The company is rolling out a new system by Paradox that will make the hiring process simpler, faster, and more automated for all 3,500+ restaurants in North America and Europe The Paradox platform is supporting Chipotle’s fall hiring efforts, its second largest hiring period of the year

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) announced today that it is partnering with Paradox to introduce a new platform that will make hiring employees more efficient for its restaurant teams. Paradox’s conversational hiring system will enable the General Managers in Chipotle’s restaurants to spend less time on administrative tasks, including collecting basic information from candidates and scheduling interviews, and allow them to focus on their day-to-day operations and providing excellent hospitality for guests. The technology, underpinned by Conversational AI, is expected to reduce the amount of time it takes to hire an employee for an in-restaurant position by as much as 75%.

Paradox is currently being introduced in a phased approach across more than 3,500 restaurant locations, with plans for completion this month. The recruiting system aims to decrease the time to hire, reduce job advertising costs, increase hiring for hard-to-fill roles, and improve candidate experience.

Introducing “Ava Cado
Paradox’s experience is driven by a virtual team member that Chipotle named “Ava Cado.” Ava will provide a frictionless hiring experience by chatting with candidates, answering their questions about Chipotle, collecting basic information, scheduling interviews for hiring managers, and sending offers to candidates who are selected by managers. Ava is multilingual and can converse with candidates in English, Spanish, French, and German.

“As we continue to move toward our long-term goal of operating 7,000 restaurants in North America, we are empowering our teams to recruit and hire talent that are excited by our vision to Cultivate a Better World and want to grow with us,” said Ilene Eskenazi, Chief Human Resources Officer. “Paradox operates as if we’ve hired additional administrative support for all our restaurants, freeing up more time for managers to support team members and provide an exceptional guest experience. We’re excited about the early improvements we’re seeing.”

A Leading Workplace
In August, Chipotle ranked #1 on the American Opportunity Index’s first-of-a-kind ranking of the top 50 employers that offer recent high-school graduates with the best pathway to a sustaining career and increased compensation. Chipotle offers eligible workers industry-leading benefits such as debt-free degrees, tuition reimbursement up to $5,250 per year, access to mental health care, financial planning tools, and the opportunity for quarterly bonuses for all employees, including hourly crew members, up to a month’s worth of pay per year. It also provides transparent career progression showing how crew members can advance to a Restaurateur, the highest General Manager position, in as little as three and a half years, with a total potential compensation package of approximately $100,000 while leading a multi-million-dollar growing business. Last year, Chipotle had 24,000 internal promotions including 90% of its restaurant management roles and 87% of Field Leader positions.

Performio Introduces Plan Builder: Revolutionizing Incentive Compensation Management with Unmatched Flexibility and Control

Performio’s Plan Builder is the most intuitive way to build and manage incentive compensation plans in the industry

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Performio, a leading incentive compensation management (ICM) software provider, unveiled Plan Builder, a groundbreaking capability that transforms compensation plan management. It’s the most advanced, intuitive interface with ultimate reliability to manage compensation plans. With Plan Builder, organizations can manage incentive compensation intuitively and efficiently, saving time and money, while avoiding constant ICM challenges.  

With Plan Builder and its other core capabilities, Performio has solved the age-old challenge in incentive compensation management–overly-rigid applications that cannot adapt to ICM needs, or overly-flexible ones that become impossible to maintain over time. When compensation managers manually build rules and formulas, they need to be updated every time the comp plan changes. This process is not only time-consuming, but incredibly vulnerable to human error.

Plan Builder eliminates this problem by offering compensation plan managers an array of dozens of preconfigured incentive plan components via an intuitive interface. Instead of writing rules and formulas that add complexity over time, Performio users can select from these out-of-the-box components and modify them to fit their own plans.

Plan Builder offers a true self-management experience. Users can simply configure components using dropdowns and filters through a guided workflow. It encompasses both crediting logic and compensation logic. So, when it’s time to modify plans, there is no need to comb through a long list of confusing logic. With Plan Builder, users simply modify a component or add a new one. This also alleviates organizations from excessive professional service costs and fixes. Essentially, Performio handles the formulas and logic in the background for users enabling scalability, efficiency, and accuracy.

“At Performio, we are committed to delivering value over the long run,’ said Grayson Morris, CEO of Performio. ‘Plan Builder is born from our deep understanding of the pain of incentive compensation management and the shortcomings of other rule or formula-based solutions. There’s always been a gap in ICM when it comes to plan management. Many incentive compensation professionals are frustrated when it comes to changing or modifying compensation plans because their system is simply too rigid or too flexible, inhibiting their ability to adapt to change. We have an ongoing joke at Performio, that we’re everyone’s favorite second ICM, whether their first ICM tool is spreadsheets or one of our competitors, Performio is the last ICM they’ll ever need.”

About Performio

Performio is the last Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) software you’ll ever need.
