The reality
What hiring actually looks like in logistics & warehousing.
Peak season doesn't ease into a warehouse's staffing needs — it arrives all at once, and the difference between being ready and being short-handed is measured in fulfillment delays.
Warehouse and distribution roles have real churn, driven by physical demands and seasonal work patterns, which means a staffing partner needs a real pipeline, not a single round of hiring.
Safety compliance in a warehouse environment — forklift certification, PPE, load-handling training — has to be verified before someone steps onto the floor, not after an incident.
