In Flower Mound, TX, a logistics provider supporting a major cell phone launch needed a staffing partner who could scale fast under strict requirements.
The Job Center delivered the strongest candidate pipeline and ensured production stayed on schedule.
Obstacle
The client, a logistics provider supporting packaging for a major cell phone manufacturer, faced urgent staffing needs ahead of a product launch.
After negative feedback from their end customer on Thursday, the client needed rapid headcount growth to meet production targets.
Key challenges included:
- Strict Screening
- Low Pay
- Fast Multi-Shift Staffing
- Tight Nationwide Launch Deadlines
With five staffing agencies assigned to fill 60 openings, each supplier was expected to deliver at least 10 qualified workers—on extremely short notice.
Solution
The Job Center acted quickly to stabilize the situation.
Pay Rate Strategy
Through market analysis, our team identified that a $1/hour increase to second-shift pay rates would improve competitiveness, resulting in immediate gains in candidate attraction.
High-Volume Pipeline Development
TJC rapidly built a pipeline to support up to 50 second-shift openings and coordinated recruitment across all shifts to ensure balanced coverage.
Accelerated Placement
Despite strict screening and a tight timeline, The Job Center exceeded expectations—outperforming all suppliers and delivering over twice the required minimum.
Impact
- 42% Total Second Shifts Placed
- 45% across all shifts placed
- 100% of candidates prepped to start following Monday
The end client met its production targets and resumed normal distribution for the new phone launch.
“Shout out to TJC for leading the way.”
