The challenge: delivering scale and performance under pressure

This global last-mile delivery company operates across 20+ countries with tens of thousands of frontline delivery workers. 

Despite its reach, the company was facing growing operational pressure in one of its largest European markets:

  • Lack of visibility into worker performance

  • Poor shift planning and staffing alignment

  • Unreliable attendance disrupting operations

  • Volatile hiring demand, often requiring hundreds of new hires weekly

  • Exposure to compliance risks 

Each issue independently was either having an impact, or had the potentional to, reduce productivity. Ultimately, they risked stagnating the company’s ability to grow.

The result: 29% productivity gain + 12% utilization

After implementing the Job&Talent Business platform, the company unlocked a 29% increase in productivity in 9 weeks—measured by deliveries per person per hour. 

They also achieved a 12% improvement in workforce utilization, primarily attributed to smarter shift allocation and attendance adherence.

Recruitment: responding to surges with AI-led hiring

Facing weekly spikes in hiring demand, this company deployed Clara, Job&Talent’s AI recruiter, to handle high-volume intake faster than any traditional method.

Key results:

  • 300% increase in workforce in 4 weeks

  • 65% faster hiring cycle compared to human recruiters

  • 27% of recruitment activity handled out of hours

With instant lead-to-contract flows, real-time tracking, and 24/7 automation, Clara helped standardize the hiring process and absorb volatility in demand without sacrificing speed or quality.

Time and attendance: improving shift reliability

Previously, no-shows and last-minute absences left shift managers scrambling. Job&Talent Business resolved this with live clocking features and Sara, Job&Talent’s AI attendance coach.

Key results:

  • 13% increase in attendance

  • Automatic, real-time absence tracking and follow-up AI phone calls

  • Instant reassignment of shifts to maintain delivery coverage

Sara enabled proactive, automated conversations with workers when they didn’t show up. Our agent coached workers on what to do next time, changing behaviors quickly whilst providing managers full visibility to reduce disruption.

Shift planning: matching demand with smarter distribution

Static scheduling and uneven shift allocation had led to poor worker utilization. By switching to AI-based demand prediction and geo-distribution of shifts, the company made its labor deployment smarter and more dynamic.

Key results:

  • 12% increase in hours worked per person per week

  • Fewer under- and over-staffed zones

  • Improved worker satisfaction with more reliable shifts

Instead of assigning shifts reactively, the company began proactively deploying teams based on real-time demand.

Performance management: boosting top talent and reducing poor performance

Without performance data, it was hard to identify who was excelling—or struggling. Job&Talent Business introduced real-time ratings and feedback, powered by Maria, our AI performance coach.

Key results:

  • Top performers increased from 9% to 20% (+122%)

  • Poorest performers reduced from 74% to 38% (-49%)

With Maria’s help, managers could flag poor performers for early coaching or replacement, while rewarding consistent delivery excellence.

Compliance: fast transition to a fully legal workforce model

The company had sudden requirement to rapidly transition away from self-employed workers to a fully compliant, contracted workforce. Job&Talent Business supported a seamless transition to a PAYE model.

Outcome:

  • 100% of workers moved to Job&Talent payroll

  • All documentation captured and uploaded in-app

  • Full continuity of service maintained throughout

This removed the legal and reputational risks of non-compliance while giving the company peace of mind in a shifting regulatory environment.
