Case Study: Driving Acquisition Success for a Canadian Staffing Network

Last Updated: December 24, 2024

How People2.0 Helped Double Acquisition Capacity While Streamlining Operations

A rapidly growing staffing network operating across various sectors partnered with People2.0 to address significant back-office challenges brought on by their aggressive acquisition strategy. Our tailored solution enabled the network to streamline operations, ensure compliance across provinces, and scale their back-office infrastructure, supporting continued expansion and success. 

After experiencing rapid growth through multiple acquisitions, the Canadian staffing network faced immense pressure on their internal back-office teams. Integrating new entities and employees while maintaining efficient operations and service levels became a complex challenge. Each new acquisition introduced unique processes, technologies, and regulatory requirements, straining the existing systems. 

Operating across various sectors, such as technology, HR, and finance, the network needed to ensure properly credentialed workers and navigate sector-specific employment laws. Additionally, their nationwide presence required strict adherence to differing labor regulations, tax laws, and compensation rules in each province. To sustain their aggressive, acquisition-driven growth model, they needed a unified, adaptable solution that could support their complex operations and future scalability. 

People2.0 provided a comprehensive back-office program tailored to the unique needs of the Canadian Staffing Network. We consolidated their technology systems and streamlined workforce administration processes, including payroll, employee onboarding, and credentials management. By automating these functions, we reduced the manual burden on their teams, ensuring consistent compliance across all sectors and regions. 

To address their evolving workforce needs, we offered customised benefits and insurance programs. Our regulatory experts navigated the complexities of provincial compliance, mitigating risks and ensuring smooth operations. Furthermore, we integrated their applicant tracking system with our back-office software, eliminating manual data entry and enhancing data accuracy. This integrated, tech-driven solution allowed the network to efficiently manage acquisitions, maintain high service standards, and support their ambitious growth strategy. 

With People2.0’s back-office solution, the Canadian staffing network achieved: 

  • Increased acquisition capacity: Enabled the network to grow from 1-2 acquisitions per year to 3-4, without overburdening back-office resources. 
  • Improved compliance: Ensured adherence to provincial labor laws and industry-specific regulations, reducing risk and enhancing operational stability. 
  • Streamlined operations: Integrated payroll, onboarding, and compliance functions, reducing manual processes and improving efficiency. 
  • Scalable infrastructure: Provided the flexibility needed to support ongoing acquisitions and future growth, positioning the network for sustained success. 

By partnering with People2.0, the Canadian staffing network overcame critical back-office challenges and laid a solid foundation for sustainable growth. Our technology-driven solutions not only addressed their immediate needs but also provided a scalable infrastructure essential for long-term success.
