How Creative Personnel Helped a Logistics Company Scale Fast and Cut Overtime Costs
The Challenge
A large regional logistics company was experiencing major delays in outbound shipments due to high turnover and unreliable temp labor. With demand increasing and deadlines tightening, operations management was struggling to maintain daily output. Internal recruiting efforts had slowed, and unfilled positions were costing the company thousands in overtime and missed delivery windows.
They needed a partner who could move fast, deliver reliable workers, and stabilize their production flow — all without disrupting existing processes.
Our Solution
Creative Personnel responded with a customized staffing strategy:
- Onsite assessment of workforce gaps, shift needs, and output goals
- Fast deployment of 20+ pre-screened warehouse associates and forklift operators within 10 business days
- Temp-to-hire model to give the company flexibility while improving retention
- Attendance and performance tracking built into our onboarding and check-in system
- Daily availability reporting to give the ops team real-time labor control
We didn’t just fill positions — we partnered with their supervisors to align staffing with performance metrics.
The Results
After just 3 weeks of partnership:
- 27% increase in daily outbound shipping volume
- 15% decrease in overtime-related labor costs
- Zero no-shows for three consecutive weeks
- Over 30% of workers converted to full-time employees after 90 days
The client regained control of their warehouse floor, improved shift efficiency, and avoided costly delays that had previously impacted customer satisfaction.
