Background
Wawa is a privately held, employee‑owned convenience retailer operating more than 1,000 locations across the East Coast. Known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and employee development, Wawa maintains a large corporate organization supporting technology, digital marketing, and enterprise operations.
The Challenge
Wawa came to Juno with approximately 64 open roles — all at varying stages of the recruitment process — primarily within technology and digital marketing. The internal talent acquisition team needed additional capacity and specialized sourcing support to keep roles moving efficiently while supporting ongoing growth initiatives.
Juno’s Approach
Juno deployed a full‑lifecycle recruiting and sourcing solution to augment Wawa’s internal TA function. Two Talent Consultants and two Sourcing Specialists embedded directly with the Wawa team, supporting requisition intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and offer management.
The engagement was initially scoped for six months, but due to strong performance and continued hiring demand, the partnership extended to over a year.
The Outcome
Over the course of the 13‑month engagement, Juno delivered:
4 Juno resources embedded within Wawa’s TA team
83 successful hires across technology and digital marketing
Improved hiring velocity and pipeline visibility
Sustained recruiting momentum across multiple departments
Lasting Impact
By embedding experienced recruiting resources directly into Wawa’s talent acquisition team, Juno helped strengthen hiring capacity, streamline workflows, and support the company’s long‑term technology and digital growth initiatives.
“Wawa is a company that is heavily involved with our community, so it was important for us to pick a local partner who recognizes our values as consumers. In addition, our Recruiting Leadership team appreciated that Juno Talent Solutions did not present a "one-size fits all" approach to our needs; they spent time listening and learning our operating model, where our opportunities were, and the journey we're on in expanding our recruitment processes. The recruiters and sourcers that joined our team as consultants did a fantastic job quickly learning our culture and processes, engaging talent in an efficient matter, and being excellent partners to hiring managers and the rest of our recruiting team.”
— Lesley Flynn, Senior Supervisor of Recruiting, Wawa
