Client Profile
A $6 billion dollar consumer goods company specializing in manufacturing window coverings, with locations across the country and abroad. Their products have a reputation for innovation, quality, and energy efficiency. They are a leader in their industry.
Background
Job Store Staffing has been partnering with this client in Colorado since 2014. They had an urgent need for supply planners in Atlanta, GA, and reached out to the JSS team. The managers in Atlanta heard about our team’s ability to find the right-fit talent in critical areas of their business. In Atlanta, their internal recruiting team was struggling to find the talent they needed, and they were experiencing high turnover. They partnered with our team as a talent solution for their inventory management area.
Job Store Staffing was already familiar with the company and culture, so recruiting for a new department in another state, was seamless. The professional recruiting team got right to work.
By Monday morning, our team was meeting with executives from Atlanta. They were so impressed with our team’s questions and ability to drill down on not only skills, but challenges with turnover. Job Store Staffing was determined to find the right fit supply planners and to reduce turnover.
Challenges
- Internal recruitment team facing challenges in Identifying the
right local talent - Extremely tight timeline with a large inventory project
- Needed 10 supply planners ASAP to accomplish the goal
Support
As soon as Job Store Staffing was brought in, we worked tirelessly not only to fill the jobs this client needed, but also to support every aspect of the process. This client needed specialized recruiting, interviews scheduled, on-boarding assistance, payroll support, and benefits for the associate employees. The communication was critical since they were looking for specific software, analytical skills, and they wanted talent local to the Atlanta area.
They needed candidates who could start immediately and commit to a long-term contract assignment. Within 2 weeks, we had 10 supply planners start and our retention was 90% within the first 60 days. The client was ecstatic and wanted to continue to use Job Store Staffing to build out the full department.
“We don’t work for you. We work with you.”
