Coffeehunt, a Washington$-$based premium coffee company, has expanded from just $8$ stores in $2000$ to over $100$ times that number today. Coffeehunt$$s ability to get high prices for its coffee drinks depends on the firm hiring the right employees able to provide high$-$quality customer service. Reflecting its focus on its employees, Cofeehunt refers to all employees as $$partners$.$Coffeehunt even calls its human resource function $$Partner Resources.$$

Another guiding principle at Coffeehunt is to develop enthusiastically satisfied customers. More than coffee, Coffeehunt sells an experience$$and that experience is completely dependent on the partners who greet and serve over $6$ million customers around the world every day. The challenge facing Coffeehunt as it pursues its aggressive global growth strategy is to find enough qualified and desirable candidates to increase its current U$.$S$.$ workforce and double its workforce in the Asia Pacific region by $2025.$ Because Coffeehunt depends on the skills and personalities of its people, it is a daunting challenge for it to continue to successfully recruit and staff its global workforce. Coffeehunt$$s president, Ken Mathew states, $$My biggest fear isn$$t the competition, although I respect it$.$ It$$s having a robust pipeline of people to open and manage the stores who will also be able to take their next steps with the company.$$
