Case study
End-to-end warehouse recruitment support for a leading retail business
The Challenge
Our client, a leading retail business, required a trusted and reliable recruitment partner to support both their temporary and permanent hiring needs within their warehouse operations.
With a busy and fast-paced environment, their internal teams needed to remain fully focused on day-to-day operations, creating a requirement for a partner who could take ownership of recruitment delivery, ensure consistency of supply, and provide a dependable pipeline of suitable candidates across both temporary and permanent roles.
The Approach
Our approach centred on becoming a true extension partner of the client’s business. We assigned a dedicated onsite account manager to fully embed themselves within the operation, gaining a deep understanding of the culture while overseeing all new talent entering the business.
We managed onsite registrations and pre-starter inductions to ensure candidates were fully prepared before day one. These sessions clearly outlined the client’s expectations, the responsibilities of the role and what candidates could expect from their site tour alongside completing all necessary compliance checks.
To improve efficiency, OA also introduced technology into the process, helping to reduce administrative workload and streamline workforce management. Regular check-ins were carried out with department leaders to review performance, gather feedback, and identify any further staffing requirements, ensuring continued alignment with operational needs.
The Results
OA has built a strong, long-standing partnership with the client, providing consistent support on a daily basis and becoming a trusted extension of their operation.
In 2024 alone, we successfully placed 306 candidates into roles, delivering at both scale and pace to support ongoing business demands.
This was underpinned by exceptional workforce performance, achieving a 99% attendance rate and an impressive 98% retention rate across all placements – ensuring reliability, stability and continuity within the client’s warehouse operations.
Client Feedback
“OA have become a key part of our operation. Having someone onsite who truly understands our business has made a huge difference and the consistency they deliver day in, day out is exactly what we needed. We’re thrilled with the partnership that has been built and would recommend them to anyone looking for onsite solutions”
