Recruiting a large volume of staff in the logistics industry can be a challenging and time-consuming task – not to mention expensive.
One logistics company, however, has found a solution to this problem.
By using redwigwam's recruitment software, they have successfully recruited a large volume of logistics staff, including warehouse operatives, forklift truck drivers, and admin staff, in locations all over the UK. And have saved time and money in the process.
In this case study, we’ll look at how this logistics company was able to transform their recruitment process and the benefits they gained from using redwigwam's recruitment software.
The problem
Recruiting the right talent in a timely manner can be a daunting task for any company. The logistics industry has found recruitment especially challenging in the post-Brexit landscape, driven by rising costs and a reduction in the size of the available workforce.
A leading logistics company needed to recruit a large number of staff across multiple locations in the UK.
Aside from finding it difficult to find the volume of candidates they needed, they were struggling with many manual processes. It was especially difficult to track applications and manage candidate data efficiently. Then they would find the candidates they chose to progress often didn’t have the appropriate right to work in the UK and they would have to go back to the start of the process.
The company found their recruitment process was taking too long and their hiring costs had increased. They knew that they needed a solution which could automate their recruitment process and reduce their costs.
They turned to redwigwam for help.

One of the key features of redwigwam's software is its ability to create a talent pool of workers.
This means the company could build a pool of pre-screened candidates who had applied specifically for their roles, had already demonstrated their skills and experience, and were available to start work immediately.
They were able to establish this by adding role-specific screening questions to quickly filter out unsuitable candidates. Redwigwam automatically screen all workers for their right to work in the UK, so this issue was also eliminated,
As part of the process, the job adverts were automatically shared to job boards and social media channels, which eliminated the need for lengthy and costly recruitment campaigns and allowed the company to fill vacancies quickly and easily.
The logistics company found the ability to manage their entire recruitment process on one platform another major benefit.
This included advertising job vacancies, processing applications, and scheduling interviews and follow ups.
The software is designed to streamline the entire process, which meant the logistics company could handle a large volume of applicants with ease.
Redwigwam's recruitment software allowed the logistics company to save money, reduce their time-to-hire, and build a stronger workforce.
