MINNESOTA EMPLOYER GUIDE

How do I hire warehouse workers for a shift or seasonal rush?

Tell the staffing agency how many workers you need, when the work starts, and what they will do. Picking and packing, shipping and receiving, and forklift work each need a different staffing brief.

What details help an agency match workers to a warehouse shift?

Share the worksite city, shift hours, expected duration, and any weekend or overtime needs. Describe the physical tasks, work environment, and equipment, such as scanners, pallet jacks, or specific lift trucks.

What if only some roles require forklift experience?

List forklift positions separately from general warehouse roles. Identify the equipment type, the experience you need, and how your site handles training and authorization before someone operates equipment.

How should we plan for a seasonal ramp?

Share your expected headcount by week, your first training date, and who can onboard each group. Tell your local staffing team which shifts are hardest to cover so they can discuss availability and a realistic start plan.
