Recruiting hourly retail workers

There was person that was just promoted to a newly created, in-store recruiting role for a retail company. This person had been looking for ideas for strengthening our recruiting network. What recruiting techniques, sources, etc… have you found useful in recruiting this category of employee? What has not worked?

I would say number one ask your top employees for referrals. They tend to be your best spokespeople. Also, if you are flexible in terms of hours network with some local community centers or schools. You may be able to get a pipeline of individuals that are in a transition period, going to school, retired etc. If you build upon your reputation as a good employer to work for and are involved in the community you will be surprised at how many people are calling you regarding opportunities to work at your company.
