Joe & the Juice, the globally iconic lifestyle café and juice bar, has teamed up with Sapia.ai, a leader in AI-powered recruitment technology, to redefine hiring while staying true to Joe’s inclusive and vibrant culture.

Known for its unique “Juicer” ethos, Joe & the Juice processes over 300,000 applications annually. With Sapia.ai’s platform, the company can scale recruitment across multiple languages without sacrificing its people-first values.

“We expect to hire 40,000 people over the next four years. Achieving that scale would be impossible without Sapia.ai,” said Sebastian Jeppesen, Head of Global Recruitment at Joe & the Juice.

Unlocking Undiscovered Talent

Sapia.ai’s AI-driven, CV-free process enables fairer, blind hiring, helping uncover talent that may have been overlooked.

“We’ve hired people we might not have considered before - like a 33-year-old architect in Oslo who became one of our best store managers,” Jeppesen noted.

A Candidate Experience Aligned with Joe’s Culture

Joe & the Juice’s recruitment prioritizes inclusivity and feedback, with standout results:

  • High Satisfaction: 9/10 candidate satisfaction from over 55,000 applicants globally, with 93% finding the personality insights and coaching tips helpful.
  • Inclusivity: A CV-free approach ensures equal opportunities for all, regardless of education or experience.

“Every candidate interaction reflects our brand,” Jeppesen added. “Sapia.ai makes our recruitment process fair, enriching, and culture-driven.”

Driving Growth with Efficiency

The partnership has accelerated Joe & the Juice’s expansion, achieving:

  • Faster Hiring: A 33% reduction in time-to-hire, from 18 to 12 days across all regions.
  • Improved Productivity: Automation saves each recruiter one full day per week, enabling a focus on strategic growth.
  • Fairer Hiring: Blind AI ensures recommendations without human bias, reflecting Joe’s diverse guest base.

“Our Juicers are the heart of our business,” said Frederik Rosenstand, Group Director of People & Development. “Sapia.ai helps us scale while staying true to our values.”
