How a Propane Distributor Solved Its Staffing Challenges by Investing in Reliability
About This Business
A regional propane supplier occasionally found itself short-staffed when employees called out sick or took vacations. They came to Labor Finders looking for dependable workers they could trust when regular employees were unavailable.
Our Staffing Solution
The company needed occasional staffing support for a part-time position. Our branch supplied several employees over time, but the placements weren't meeting expectations. The client frequently expressed concerns about overall performance. After carefully listening to the client's concerns, our team identified the root of the issue: the available pay rate was not competitive enough to attract the type of reliable, experienced workers the company wanted. Labor Finders recommended increasing the pay rate for the position. With a more competitive pay rate in place, our team was able to recruit and place a stronger candidate who matched the company's expectations.
Challenges We Overcame
The challenge wasn't simply finding workers; it was finding dependable workers willing to accept a position with limited hours and a lower pay rate. What made the difference was the transparency and willingness to take on the risk together through a trial period. Our team focused on finding the real problem and offering a solution.
The Results
Once we matched the right worker to the right rate, the placement went smoothly. The client was impressed with the difference in work quality and attitude. The worker performed so well that the company brought him on as a permanent, full-time employee. To this day, the company continues to rely on us for temporary coverage on a regular basis.
