Takeya, a leading hydration solutions company, faced a significant challenge at their distribution center. Despite having the space for more orders, they struggled to find sufficient job candidates. Before Upshift's intervention, they relied on four different agencies, falling short by 50% on daily staffing needs and experiencing high attrition rates.

Upshift started by helping Takeya fill single-day shifts for project-based positions, demonstrating our commitment to providing quality workers.

With success rates exceeding 96%, Takeya expanded our partnership to include temp-to-perm roles. Our innovative model attracted workers with flexible shifts, allowing Takeya to convert suitable candidates to full-time positions. This hiring approach attracted individuals who might not have considered a full-time role initially, leading to a higher quality workforce compared to traditional staffing companies.

Tony Dorsey, Director of Operations at Takeya, expressed his satisfaction, stating, "The best part about Upshift is that it allows us time to try out folks." Upshift's approach enabled Takeya to assess workers' performance on the job before including them in a hiring process, ensuring a better fit for their needs. Particularly beneficial for their cold brew coffee maker assembly line, this flexibility has revolutionized their hiring process. Tony Dorsey emphasized, "I don’t see us ever going back to the traditional staffing firms because this allows us to think outside the box. It lets us give people opportunities who may not have had them otherwise."
