Recruiting Agility & Flexibility for a Nationwide Distribution Center
How our relationship started
An inability to attract and retain talent within the company’s distribution centers was affecting their overall business by causing inconsistent inventory levels on the store level.
Their local HR teams were tasked with recruiting for these centers, and when they ran into troubles, the corporate HR team was not able to provide support.
Initially, Advanced RPO was brought in to cover excess recruiting needs in a single distribution facility.
“Advanced RPO has contributed significantly to our company’s ability to be staffed and service our customers. Their team is responsive, flexible, communicative, and action-oriented.”

How Advanced RPO is helping

The recruiting support provided is based on agility with each location being able to come to Advanced when recruiting needs outpace internal capabilities.
