Following the Great Resignation, the job market dramatically favors employees, especially in logistics, manufacturing, and distribution. Employers must make a greater effort to attract top-tier candidates to keep their enterprise running efficiently. Hiring qualified, skilled labor for forklift operation, picking, assembly, and packing is essential to improving your bottom line and increasing profit. However, it can be hard to find high-quality job seekers in logistics using traditional methods. Here are the top resources for employers to find candidates for their open positions in warehouse logistics.
Posting on popular job websites generates a high volume of applicants for logistics and warehouse businesses. It’s easy to list the job responsibilities for a position and your requirements for applicants. Online job search sites make it convenient and fast for job seekers to apply to a variety of companies.
The downside is that a company may not receive many high-quality job seekers in logistics when posting their open positions on a job search website. They also have to stand out from hundreds or thousands of other job postings on a site.
Much of the job search process has moved online, especially in a post-COVID world, but the job fair remains a mainstay of recruitment. Job fairs can be appealing to companies because of the ability to streamline your onboarding, meet candidates, conduct initial interviews, and build a talent pipeline. For job seekers, they’re a way to get instant feedback from employers, sometimes securing a same-day job offer.
Sometimes, job fairs don’t pan out, whether because of low attendance by job seekers in logistics or low-quality applicants. They can end up being a waste of company resources and the time of your human resources and hiring managers.
It’s possible to find great job seekers in logistics without using online job boards or fairs to fill open positions. When you partner with a recruiter, you can avoid many of the downsides, such as an abundance of resumes and applications from candidates who don’t have relevant experience.
The recruiters of a specialized staffing agency come from relevant background experience. They can identify high-quality candidates and match them with the companies with cultures where they’ll thrive.
