Extrastaff supply a national parcel and ecommerce business with temporary staff to the majority of its depots and 2 hubs between the South East and Midlands. During its peak period our Operations Director took an urgent call asking us to support a new large depot in the North West as they were experiencing large shortfalls of candidates from their local agency. Our closest Extrastaff location was 100 miles away.

To support we mobilised a senior management and implementation team to site within 48 hours to assess the roles and needs. Using a massive social media launch, our unique online registration process and our centralised resource and compliance teams, we were able to build an immediate working pool. 7 days after the initial request, Extrastaff had 120 colleagues inducted and working on a fixed 3 shift pattern and our mobilised implementation team were on hand to assist with training, to ensure productivity was being maximised quickly. By the end of week 2 we had secured local offices for our new onsite team to induct new workers, so that we could continue to build the pool. At peak, we had 200 colleagues working at that location with our MI solution giving our client relevant and realtime reporting .

Following successful peak supply, Extrastaff were awarded the site as a preferred supplier and continue to supply.
