Delivering Contingent RPO Solutions Under Tight Deadlines

The Challenge

A consumer packaged goods (CPG) company needed to hire 50 production laborers within four weeks to meet an unprecedented and unexpected spike in demand. Their remote location made sourcing talent even more difficult, as local recruitment efforts had already been exhausted. Without a new strategy, meeting the deadline was not possible.

The Solution

Robertson RPO deployed experienced high-volume recruiters and created a branded outreach experience that stood out in the market. Workflows and onboarding processes were optimized to ensure a smooth candidate journey. Recruiters tapped into both new and expired candidate pools, accelerating response times and enabling faster placements.

The Results

The impact was immediate:

• All 50 hires completed within 3 weeks — 25% ahead of schedule

• 95% first-day turnout achieved

By combining speed, branding, and efficient processes, Robertson RPO delivered the talent needed ahead of schedule and with exceptional attendance rates. This case demonstrates the power of a well-executed contingent RPO strategy when timelines are tight and the talent pool is limited.
