Case Studies
A On Time Staffing Hired 200 Urgently Needed Workers Replenishing USUI International Corporation
The Challenge
USUI, an auto manufacturer in Sharonville, Ohio, was in desperate need of workers. They drained their resources, which mostly consisted of internal referrals. Sourcing workers was a challenge, and the existing associates were strained from excessive hours. Turnover was high and the company’s staffing issue worsened. They needed 200 workers but struggled to recruit. On Time Staffing (OTS) was brought in to develop a partnership in hiring qualified, dedicated workers. Experts in recruiting and maintaining staffing needs, OTS obtained the needed workers and has been continuing to anticipate their needs ever since.
The Winning Solution
Boots on the ground ambassadors
Ambassadors went local to find candidates in the warehouse’s own neighborhood. Immersed in the community, they directly connected with individuals in need of work through nonprofit groups, churches, and the local immigrant population. Hiring locals also helped those with transportation issues.
Referrals from the current staff
Referrals from the current staff were continuously sought by the OTS onsite management team. Referrals were rewarded with bonuses which, in turn, helped retention. Trained to make connections, the OTS onsite team also monitored daily activity and conversations in the warehouse for opportunities to find new workers.
Enticing benefits with long-term opportunities
OnTime Staffing was able to entice with good benefits and the possibility of long-term opportunities to counter the low-wage issue. A healthy culture was cultivated where workers felt valued, respected, and motivated.
“Since 2015, On Time Staffing has repeatedly delivered for USUI. They have been with us through the busy years, as well as the lean seasons, always pivoting to accurately respond to our evolving needs."
- Kyle Shepherd, Human, Resources Manager, USUI
