Consumer Packaged Goods Company Makes Changes to Recruiting Process
Business Need
This organization initially needed to hire 1,900 part-time merchandisers to stock shelves at stores nationwide due to an acquisition. The need grew from there for a provider to assist with all exempt hiring for the organization at a national level.
Our Strategy
The RightThing’s experience in managing high volume needs with aggressive timelines played a key role in creating a tailored strategy to meet the client needs. We designed, built and implemented a streamlined, scalable staffing process to support current and future staffing needs. Needs for reduction in sourcing costs and cycle time, as well as process consistency for over 1000 different hiring managers were top priority. A robust communications plan, customized tool kit, and grassroots sourcing strategies maximized the efforts for proven results.
