B&M Distribution

Sector:

Warehousing & Logistics

Service:

Rapid Workforce Mobilisation

The Challenge

After eight months of engagement with B&M Distribution, The Results People received an urgent request at 4:30pm on a Thursday.

The requirement was immediate.

The client needed:

  • 12 warehouse operatives for AM shifts
  • 12 warehouse operatives for PM shifts
  • 12 warehouse operatives for night shifts

Recruitment, screening, compliance checks and onboarding all needed to be completed within an extremely tight timeframe.

At the same time, The Results People were competing directly against an incumbent supplier that had supported the contract for more than three years.

Our Response

A mobilisation strategy was activated immediately.

Within one hour, recruitment teams had:

  • Deployed central resourcing support
  • Launched attraction campaigns
  • Activated candidate databases
  • Begun candidate screening and engagement

This rapid response ensured recruitment activity was underway before the end of the working day.

Candidate Attraction and Compliance

To meet the deadline, The Results People utilised:

Pre-Qualified Candidate Pools

Access to more than 2,500 pre-screened warehouse candidates.

Targeted Recruitment Campaigns

Immediate candidate attraction activity across multiple channels.

Rapid Screening and Compliance
