How a National Retailer Regained Control with Onsite Staffing

Background

When you’re growing fast, your workforce has to grow faster.

A national grocery retailer serving millions of customers across the U.S. found itself in that exact position. Store traffic was climbing. Distribution needs were rising. But their hiring systems couldn’t keep pace with demand — and the cracks were starting to show.

They didn’t just need more people. They needed a smarter, more connected way to manage high-volume staffing at scale.

That’s when they turned to the TalentLaunch Network and partnered with our Network company: Bonney

The Hiring Challenges Holding Them Back

The retailer’s internal HR and operations teams were stretched thin trying to support hiring across multiple states. They were running into some familiar roadblocks:

• Slow hiring cycles that delayed store and warehouse operations
• High early turnover caused by poor role fit and rushed onboarding
• Limited geographic coverage from their current staffing provider
• Minimal workforce reporting, leaving leaders without the data needed to make confident staffing decisions

The business was growing, but the staffing engine behind it was falling behind.

Our Solution

Bonney, a TalentLaunch Network Operating Company stepped in as a true onsite workforce partner, not just a resume supplier.

Bonney redesigned their entire high-volume hiring model with three goals in mind: speed, consistency, and long-term stability.

What Changed:

Centralized High-Volume Recruiting
Bonney took full ownership of sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding, creating a streamlined hiring engine that could scale quickly across multiple states.

Onsite Workforce Management
Dedicated onsite leadership teams were embedded into daily operations to manage attendance, performance, onboarding, and associate communication in real time.

Expanded Multi-State Coverage
Through network-based recruiting and remote hiring strategies, Bonney rapidly expanded service into additional regions without sacrificing quality or speed.

Workforce Intelligence & Reporting
Leadership gained access to actionable data around time-to-fill, retention, attendance, and productivity, giving them clarity instead of guesswork.

Continuous Feedback & Improvement
Quarterly associate surveys and regular performance reviews created a steady feedback loop to improve retention, engagement, and workforce satisfaction.

The Results

Once Bonney took the reins, the transformation was immediate and measurable.

• Hiring timelines dropped to an average of 12 days across all locations
• Associate retention climbed to 84%
• Hundreds of internal HR hours were reclaimed
• Communication between leadership and onsite employees significantly improved
• Employee satisfaction increased across operations

The retailer didn’t just fill roles faster; they built a stronger, more stable workforce foundation for long-term growth.
