Imagine this: You’re the operations leader of a manufacturing facility. It’s the middle of November, and the demand for your product—a seasonal favorite—is surging faster than anyone anticipated. Orders are pouring in, and your production lines are running at maximum capacity. Your team is working overtime, but it’s not enough.
You need 30 more workers, and you need them now. But you know how this story usually goes. The process of bringing in temporary labor involves multiple steps and layers of approval, stretching into days—or worse, weeks. Every day spent waiting puts your production schedule further behind. Overtime costs mount, employee morale suffers, and customer satisfaction is tanking as lead times threaten Christmas delivery.
The problem isn’t your team’s work ethic or HR’s capabilities. It’s that the traditional approach to labor management simply isn’t built for the speed and flexibility you need to respond to dynamic demands. And the more you rely on this outdated process, the more it holds you back.
Now imagine a better way: a system where you take control of your labor needs and solve the problem within hours—not weeks. With Veryable, this is possible.
Veryable's on-demand labor platform eliminates the inefficiencies of the traditional process, providing skilled, pre-vetted workers exactly when you need them. No waiting, no red tape, no bottlenecks. It’s a solution built for the realities of modern operations.
Here’s what the traditional labor acquisition process looks like, and how much time each step typically takes:
1. Notify HR (1 Day): You reach out to HR, explain your labor needs, and wait for them to begin the process.
2. Job Postings (2-3 Days): HR drafts job descriptions, posts them on multiple platforms, and waits for applications to start coming in.
3. Resume Screening and Interviews (5-7 Days): HR reviews applications, schedules interviews, and selects candidates.
4. Background Checks and Paperwork (2-3 Days): Once candidates are chosen, HR completes background checks and other administrative steps.
5. Onboarding and Training (1-2 Days - or more): New hires need orientation and basic training before they can start working productively.
Total Time: 11-16 Days (Longer during peak seasons)
This traditional process is slow, resource-intensive, and misallocates talent. HR is diverted from strategic initiatives to handle transactional tasks and operations leaders are left waiting for solutions while managing the fallout. During this time, your team is stretched thin, overtime costs rise, and production deadlines are at risk.
As an operations leader, you’re already solving problems independently. When a machine breaks down, you don’t involve HR to call a technician. When you need new tools or materials, you don’t wait for another department to step in. You act, quickly and decisively, because the success of your operation depends on it.
Labor capacity management should be no different. Waiting on HR to navigate slow, inefficient processes for temporary labor is not just frustrating—it’s unnecessary. Veryable gives you the autonomy to address labor gaps as they arise, allowing you to focus on critical operational goals like hitting deadlines, maintaining quality, and leading your team effectively.
With Veryable, the entire process is streamlined, cutting out unnecessary steps and giving you direct control over labor management. Here’s how it works, with timeframes:
1. Post a Need (10-15 Minutes): Log into Veryable’s platform, specify the roles you need, and post the opportunity.
2. Immediate Responses (2-4 Hours): Pre-vetted operators with relevant skills bid and are accepted with Autofill(or manually if you prefer)
3. Operators Arrive (Within 24 Hours or less): Workers arrive at your facility, ready to integrate seamlessly into your team.
Total Time: 1 Day (or less!)
Summary: Veryable’s platform eliminates delays and inefficiencies, allowing you to address labor needs in real time. HR is no longer involved in daily operational decisions, freeing them to focus on long-term strategic goals. You gain full control over the process, ensuring your team has the support they need when they need it.
Traditional Process: 11-16 days to get new workers fully onboarded and contributing. Veryable Process: 1 day from posting a need to having workers on-site and productive.
The difference is staggering. By the time the traditional process delivers results, you’ve already met your goals and maintained production efficiency with Veryable.
