Hiring for immediate commencement in their retail stores

We set up a dedicated project team who prepared a robust project plan which included information on ensuring the project risks are visible.

The planning and delivery benefitted from a coordinated approach that factored in each stage of the project, including effective sourcing, screening and safety management of candidates, through to payrolling, reporting and payment.

Page Outsourcing quickly coordinated and mobilised over 500 candidates in the first two days, and over 1,600 workers within ten days.
