Overview
Amazon ELS needed large-scale recruitment support across multiple U.S. locations. We partnered directly with hiring managers to fill critical roles and successfully staffed new launch sites—some requiring more than 70 hires—within the 90-day launch window.
Our Approach
Proactive Global executed a high-volume, multi-site recruitment strategy designed for speed and consistency:
- Dedicated Delivery Team: A specialist group of recruiters devoted exclusively to Amazon ELS hiring.
- Nationwide Talent Sourcing: Utilised LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed campaigns, targeted headhunting, and referral programs to reach top candidates.
- Regional Market Insight: In-depth knowledge of labour markets across CA, GA, IL, MD, TX, NC, PA, NV, KS, MA, and VA.
- Exceptional Candidate Journey: Streamlined communication, pre-screening, testing, and interviews to ensure alignment with Amazon ELS culture and technical requirements.
Results
- Total Roles Closed: 756 hires (Jan 2022 – Dec 2023).
- Average of 31.5 hires a month
- Screened over 4,536 people, 1058 Interviews
- Reduced overall attrition rate at sites we managed from 36% to 16.4%
Geographic Coverage:
11 sites in California
16 sites in Georgia
7 sites in Illinois
14 sites in Maryland
Additional sites in Kansas, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Nevada.
Time-to-Fill: Significantly reduced compared to industry averages. We took their time to fill in these regions from 45 days down to 29 days.
Impact
We enabled the on-time launch and smooth operation of both new and legacy facilities, consistently delivering high-quality candidates in highly competitive markets. By partnering closely with hiring managers, we built robust talent pipelines and stayed ahead of backfills and new headcount needs. Our proactive strategy kept site staffing above 90%, avoiding Amazon’s under-staffing reports and ensuring rapid corrective action whenever a site was at risk.
