Recruiting Agility & Flexibility for a Nationwide Distribution Center
Situation
Our client, a Fortune 500 company with distribution centers and retail locations nationwide, faced significant challenges in attracting and retaining talent within their distribution facilities. Staffing shortages led to inconsistent inventory levels, which adversely affected store operations. Local HR teams were tasked with recruitment but lacked the necessary expertise and support during critical hiring challenges, while corporate HR was unable to provide the needed assistance. Initially, Advanced RPO was engaged to address excess recruitment needs for one distribution facility.
Solution
Our team crafted a flexible and scalable recruiting solution, enabling each facility to collaborate with us whenever hiring demands surpassed internal capabilities. This approach quickly gained recognition, leading to requests for support from additional distribution facilities.
Since our initial launch in 2020, we have expanded our recruitment support to encompass 15 distribution centers and 23 retail districts. We standardized recruitment processes across locations to ensure consistency, compliance, and a streamlined experience for both hiring managers and candidates.
Beyond recruitment process enhancements, we conducted thorough market analyses that informed adjustments to pay structures, which contributed to reducing time-to-fill and improving retention rates. Our dedicated team of screeners and interviewers has saved the client over 15,000 hours, allowing them to concentrate on their core business objectives.
