Partner Profile
A leading U.S. snack and beverage manufacturer with nationwide operations and global reach.
The Challenge
A leading U.S. snack and beverage manufacturer faced significant labor instability during its annual summer surge. Traditional temp labor models failed to deliver consistent performance, resulting in high turnover, productivity issues, and operational delays. The company valued long-term workforce stability but struggled to meet seasonal demand without sacrificing retention. Internal teams were stretched thin, and the lack of a dependable labor strategy risked disrupting throughput and service levels. Without a reliable, flexible solution to scale labor quickly, costs were rising and workforce gaps threatened the success of peak season operations.

- Local Talent Utilization: Deployed tenured Capstone associates from nearby locations to reduce travel costs.
- Strategic Compensation Model: Matched competitive pay rates to attract and retain high-quality, experienced workers.
- Retention-First Strategy: Supported the partner’s preference for workforce stability over temporary staffing.
