Zero Production Loss: Placing & Onboarding 200+ Associates
Every business leader knows the challenge of maintaining operations during major organizational transitions. When key staffing partnerships change, companies face the difficult task of keeping productivity high while rebuilding essential support systems.
This is the exact situation a U.S. food manufacturing and private label company faced. With the need to shift from their existing on-site staffing model, they turned to Masis Staffing for comprehensive recruitment support that would maintain their high-volume production requirements without interruption.
OBSTACLE
The food manufacturing company in Martinsville, Virginia, faced a critical transition in when they moved away from their previous on-site staffing model.
The facility needed continuous recruitment support to maintain their workforce levels during the transition period. They also required improved hiring processes that would deliver better quality candidates more consistently. Most importantly, they needed assistance finding and onboarding a new on-site representative who could lead their staffing efforts going forward.
All of these needs had to be addressed simultaneously while the facility continued meeting their high-volume production demands. The company could not afford any gaps in their temporary workforce, as food manufacturing requires precise scheduling and adequate staffing levels to meet safety standards and production quotas.
The transition period created uncertainty that could have easily led to operational disruptions and missed production targets.
Solution
Masis’s National Recruitment Team (NRT) immediately stepped in to provide comprehensive recruitment support that would address all aspects of the client’s staffing challenges. Our team took full ownership of recruitment activities, ensuring that the transition would not create any gaps in candidate flow.
We collaborated closely with our client’s management team to define additional onboarding requirements that would improve the overall quality of candidates joining their workforce.
This collaboration ensured that our recruitment efforts aligned perfectly with their specific operational needs and company culture.
Also, one of our professionals from the NRT provided direct support for the internal search to find a new on-site representative. We guided this process to ensure the new leader would be properly equipped to manage the facility’s ongoing staffing needs.
Outcome
The results of our partnership exceeded expectations. It demonstrated the effectiveness of our structured approach, since the site we aided now employs over 200 temporary associates.
This represents a significant workforce that supports their daily manufacturing operations.
We successfully implemented improved onboarding standards that align with the client’s expectations for candidate quality and job readiness. These enhanced processes ensure that new hires integrate smoothly into the work environment and meet performance standards from day one.
The newly hired on-site representative began five months after the food manufacturing company reached out to us for help. They have begun leading and coaching multiple team members, contributing to sustained operational stability and continued professional growth.
The facility maintained full production capacity throughout the entire transition period, avoiding any disruptions that could have affected their manufacturing schedules or client commitments.
Impact
Our involvement ensured that recruitment and operations remained consistent throughout the entire staffing model transition. The enhanced hiring and onboarding processes we implemented have increased the quality of hires significantly, which strengthened client confidence in their temporary workforce.
Our effort has provided a solid foundation for both the new staffing model and on-site representative. Our ability to step in during organizational changes and maintain staffing continuity at scale shows Masis Staffing’s capacity to provide effective, tailored solutions.
Our client now has confidence in their staffing processes and a capable leadership team that can handle future growth and challenges.
