Challenge
Planthood needed temp staffing support to prepare and pack their meal kits. They were wasting a significant amount of time with previous agencies as they continuously experienced no shows.
Planthood needed a reliable staffing partner who could provide high quality and dependable kitchen porters, picker packers, and prep chefs when they needed them. As their start-up business grew, they would require additional staffing support in their facility and needed a recruitment process they could trust.
Their main challenges were:
No shows from their previous agencies staff, resulting in a significant amount of time wasted.
Finding a trustworthy staffing partner to reliably deliver the staff support required to meet their business needs.
How did Coople help?
Planthood began using the Coople platform to hire occasional temporary workers to see how they could support their business model. After successful experiences hiring reliable and skilled temporary workers on the Coople platform, they started building a favourites pool they could tap into at any time. Planthood have used Coople regularly throughout the year and to support their peak periods, such as Veganuary and after winning Dragons Den. CoopleFlex allowed Planthood to fluctuate their levels of logistics staff in line with demand when they expected increased orders.
Planthood have built a favourites pool of over 70+ reliable logistics workers who they have hired to support their team regularly and depend on to cover any last-minute no shows. Additionally, Planthood found a temporary worker they wanted to bring internally and have successfully hired temp to perm with Coople.
