The challenges ZPH Verpakkingen faced

ZPH, a growing packaging wholesaler, faced a critical challenge: finding a new team member to handle inside sales and support logistics. This dual-role required a unique mix of commercial and logistical skills, crucial for bridging the gap between office and warehouse operations.

With the team already stretched thin, there was little time for a lengthy recruitment process. Adding to the pressure, the specific skill set required limited the pool of potential candidates. To avoid operational delays and sustain their growth, ZPH needed an efficient solution to secure the right hire quickly.
