Seasonal growth and sudden staff shortages – how does flexible employment support logistics?

How does the internal temporary employment agency at DSV support personnel management during seasonal peaks?

Fast recruitment and onboarding of employees

Thanks to a broad, constantly updated candidate database and the use of modern recruitment tools, the internal temporary employment agency at DSV can respond quickly to the staffing needs of its clients. Regardless of whether support is needed by companies within the DSV Group or external companies from the TSL sector – the process of acquiring and implementing employees is efficient and of high quality. In situations of a sudden increase in orders or unexpected staff shortages, the agency enables a quick increase in the operational team, which translates directly into the continuity and efficiency of the company's operations.

Reduction of personnel costs and risks

Employing seasonal employees on your own is not only a time-consuming but also expensive process – including recruitment, selection, implementation, as well as full administrative support. By using the recruitment services of the internal temporary employment agency at DSV, clients minimize these costs, and the risk related to staff turnover or poor candidate matching. The flexible form of cooperation allows you to avoid long-term commitments, which is particularly beneficial in the case of short-term or project employment. Clients can focus on their core business, entrusting HR matters to a professional partner.

Access to qualified specialists in the TSL industry

DSV's internal temporary employment agency is not limited to providing employees for entry-level positions - it also successfully recruits specialists who meet more complex logistics needs. Forklift operators, warehouse coordinators or logistics and planning specialists - these are just some of the profiles it can provide clients. Experience in the TSL industry means that the agency perfectly understands the specifics of these roles and can precisely match the candidates' competences to specific operational challenges.

Employment flexibility

Cooperation with DSV's internal temporary employment agency gives companies the ability to dynamically manage human resources - so that the number of employees always matches the

current operational demand. When the seasonal peak comes, the availability of staff is increased; when demand falls, the number of people is reduced - without the need to maintain unnecessary positions. Thanks to this, clients avoid the costs associated with overemployment, maintaining operational flexibility and full control over personnel costs. This approach translates into greater organizational efficiency and the company's resistance to market changes.

How does the internal temporary employment agency at DSV effectively manage staff in practice?

Example 1: Warehouse during the peak of the Christmas season

One of the agency's external clients - a large logistics operator - was struggling with a sharp increase in orders in the pre-Christmas period. Within a month, the demand for warehouse workers increased by 60%. Thanks to cooperation with the internal temporary employment agency at DSV, the company received 30 qualified warehouse workers within 14 days, which allowed for the timely fulfilment of orders without operational losses.

Example 2: Seasonal work in the Netherlands during the holiday season

In the summer, many full-time employees take vacations, which causes staff shortages in warehouses and distribution centres. One of the agency's internal clients, from the DSV Group in the Netherlands, faces this challenge every year. Thanks to cooperation with the internal temporary employment agency at DSV, it was possible to employ 100 seasonal employees within 3 weeks to support logistics and storage of goods. This allowed the company to maintain operational liquidity and deliver on time during periods of increased demand.

"Cooperation with an experienced partner in the field of flexible employment is not only a way to quickly fill staff shortages, but also a strategy for building a competitive advantage. Thanks to our market knowledge and specialist approach, we are able to provide solutions tailored to the real business needs of our clients." - says Karolina Adamiec - Vook, Managing Director, DSV Services Sp. z o. o.
