ATS Resume Optimization for Loss Prevention Managers

Loss prevention demand is being driven by an unwelcome trend line: NRF's latest study found shoplifting up 18% year over year with violent incidents up 17%, and the UK's BRC reports 5.45 million shoplifting incidents costing over £400 million. Retailers are investing in LP leadership — and screening for it on precise shrink, investigations, and safety vocabulary.
