Warehouse & Distribution Staffing That Keeps Operations Moving
When warehouse positions stay open, the impact can quickly reach productivity, overtime, fulfillment and your existing workforce. Eastridge helps employers build reliable warehouse and distribution teams with qualified talent for material handling, fulfillment, forklift, general warehouse and leadership roles.
With more than 50 years of staffing experience, Eastridge combines specialized recruiting, candidate screening, skills assessment and safety support to help employers keep operations staffed and moving.
Warehouse & Distribution Staffing Built Around Your Operation
A warehouse job title doesn't tell the whole story. Equipment, shift, physical requirements, production or fulfillment goals, facility environment and required experience can all affect whether someone is right for the job.
Eastridge starts by understanding your operation and the work behind each position so we can build a warehouse staffing strategy around what your team actually needs.
Specialized Warehouse Recruiting
Eastridge recruits warehouse and distribution talent for employers across industries including retail, electronics, medtech and consumer goods. Our team works to understand the responsibilities and requirements behind each opening before recruiting for the role.
Skills Assessment Through GATE
Our Gateway to Attaining Technical Experience™ (GATE) program uses hands-on skills assessments and detailed job previews to help identify logistics and warehouse talent prepared for the work they'll perform.
A Focus on Retention and Efficiency
Constant turnover can create additional recruiting costs, overtime and pressure on existing employees. Eastridge partners with clients to develop warehouse staffing programs focused on reducing turnover and building a more reliable workforce.
