global specialists in logistics talent solutions

The logistics industry changes constantly. Client demands are growing at a rapid pace, which together with the influence of new technologies creates an unprecedented dynamic in the supply chain. As a result, the complexity of operational management has increased significantly, as has the pressure on costs. This means that new answers have to be found for new questions.

How flexible is your supply chain and how flexibly can you deploy your employees?

How well can you respond to changing demands resulting from consumer behavior that appears to be increasingly arbitrary?

How do you deal with the issues of vitality and sustainable deployment?

Do employee yields still balance employee costs?

What is your policy on flex versus perm?

What is the impact of population ageing on your organization?

How do you attract and retain the right skills and capabilities?

With old management mechanisms no longer living up to expectations, there is a need to operate differently, better, and smarter. Knowing that at least half of your costs are labor related, combined with the current pressure on expenses, one of the keys to success is increasing flexibility within your organization and taking necessary steps to improve policies and strategies. This is where we step in.

The driving force of successBy understanding your market, and more importantly what matters to your business, our specialist consultants can always identify the right people who will fit into your organization and contribute immediately to your targets. Whether permanent or temporary, low or high skilled, our recruiters will deliver people who are trained, prepared and ready to dive straight in. Furthermore, the Randstad Logistics community is online 24/7, right around the world. Blogging and sharing news and experiences within client-specific intranet communities, our network stays in touch and learns something new every day. It’s what keeps our global account management truly seamless, and sets us apart from all of our competitors.

Checked, qualified and certifiedYour safety rules and regulations are getting tougher, goods are becoming more valuable, and a responsible, reliable and results-driven workforce has never been more important. Going beyond the usual reference checks and vetting procedures, we test competences and execute extensive screening methods to uphold the level of trust we enjoy from you as a client. We also offer the benefit of our own Randstad Institutes in a number of countries, through which we provide training to ensure our workers stay the most qualified in the industry.

Enhancing your employer attractivityStrategic Workforce Planning is a crucial part of our commitment to helping you attract and retain the right people. From organizing workshops within your company and managing graduate programs to measuring your employer attractivity through our Randstad Award initiative, which is the largest employer branding study in the world, we help you create a talent attraction and engagement strategy that’s built to last.

The integration of these elements are part of our full range of managed solution concepts, including Randstad Inhouse, Managed Services Provider (MSP), Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and Blended Workforce Solutions. Unique in these concepts is that we sit with you, rather than opposite you, and work together to achieve shared goals and the leanest process efficiencies possible.

Lean workforce solutionsWith qualified, and often six-sigma experienced process managers, we conduct Workforce Scans for your large hiring volume locations. We eliminate waste and create lean staffing solutions by identifying key areas of improvement and sharpening HR processes aligned with the specific performance criteria of your company, which can result in significant cost savings of up to 10%.

Speed-to-hire We know the importance of reliability in your industry, and uphold an enviable success rate, illustrated by an average fulfillment rate of 98.7% with our Logistics Inhouse solution. Although we’re always ready to deliver ‘just in time’, our groundwork is quite the opposite and done well in advance. With Ideal Flex Pools in blue collar staffing, we ensure the right skills are continually available so we are equipped for immediate action.

Minimizing riskWith state-of-the art planning tools and integrated IT and tracking systems, our diligent processes eliminate any shortfalls in your customer service. From pool management and supply and demand calculation, to aligning HR resources with package volumes, we can guarantee you’re able to deliver the right quantities, in the right place, at the right time – every time.

‘Worst case scenario’ thinkingWe make it our policy to study various outcomes and possible ‘worst case scenarios’ associated with your business process - a crucial aspect of careful planning – which has not only added tangible value to clients’ business in the past, but affirms confidence and trust in our service.
