Overcoming seasonal staffing challenges with quality labour

“Sidekicker is streets ahead of how traditional agencies operate. We’ve also seen a huge difference in staff quality – all the staff are reliable, motivated and have the skills to do the job well.”

Jason McEntyre, National Operations Manager

Anzor is a leading stainless steel fastener supplier that has been in operation for 25 years across New Zealand and Australia. With over 110 full time staff across 9 locations, Anzor relies on temporary warehousing staff to scale their distribution centres up during busy periods, and cover when staff are absent.

Business challenges

Before finding Sidekicker, Anzor was suffering the following challenges:

  1. During busy periods, permanent staff were being pushed to the limit on a daily basis, so Anzor needed to quickly bolster their numbers
  2. The staff they were hiring through traditional temp agencies were inconsistent, often unreliable, and frequently arrived without the required experience or qualifications

“Sidekicker is streets ahead of how traditional agencies operate. Using the staff rating & review system, we’re actually able to select the right people for each shift, making who we hire our decision. We’ve also seen a huge difference in staff quality – all the staff are reliable, motivated and have the skills to do the job well. Sidekicker has also saved us so much time–from posting a request, to hiring and making payment–I can do it all in just a few clicks, saving me hours.”
