Challenge
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, HelloFresh urgently needed to increase their workforce to deal with an overwhelming increase in demand for their recipe boxes. HelloFresh jobs skyrocketed, as more than 100 daily extra workers were required within two weeks to fulfill a large order backlog from existing customers as well as a huge surge in new customers.
Their main challenges were:
Find motivated staff to fill roles in packing, customer care and logistics
Cover varying job roles and 24/7 shift patterns on short notice
Recruit local candidates across multiple locations
Provide staffing flexibility for when lockdown measures were relaxed
Solution
Thanks to Coople, HelloFresh were able to instantly tap into thousands of suitable workers and find flexible staff to scale operations quickly. Using Coople’s unique algorithm, workers with the right skills, experience, and location were matched to the multiple jobs posted and could apply right away.
With the sudden boost to employment, HelloFresh had the team in place to successfully manage both their large order backlog from existing customers, as well as the huge surge in new customers signing up to receive their recipe boxes.
By building a ‘favourites’ pool of qualified workers, the company could easily rehire staff to provide ongoing support for the duration of the COVID-19 period and beyond.
