Black Angus Steakhouses + HireVue
+ Challenge
When the coronavirus pandemic forced Black Angus to shutter all of its restaurants, the HR team had no way to communicate with its entire workforce. With frontline workers without company email and furloughed employees’ email access deactivated, email wasn’t an option.
+ Solution
Black Angus’ HR team needed a quick and easy option to reach their employees and for their employees to reach them. HireVue’s business texting platform for HR and recruiting teams was the solution they were looking for, and one they could activate overnight.
