Background
Volk Packaging Corporation, a New England manufacturer of corrugated boxes and packaging, faced significant challenges just when demand for their services was peaking: during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. This situation threatened their operational stability and ability to meet customer demands efficiently.
Problem
The company was struggling to maintain a stable workforce, as the need for skilled packaging associates surged. High turnover rates exacerbated the challenge, creating a critical bottleneck in their production process and threatening to derail their responsiveness to market demands.

Bonney Staffing implemented a strategic approach to address Volk Packaging’s urgent hiring needs. Through daily meetings, Bonney gained a deep understanding of Volk’s specific needs and company culture.
This insight led to a tailored staffing solution that included revising the recruitment language to better resonate with potential hires and accurately represent Volk’s values and work environment.
Impact
Bonney’s refined recruitment strategy significantly improved hiring outcomes:
- Rapid Recruitment: Successfully filled 14 critical positions during the peak of the pandemic with an impressive average time-to-fill of just 7 days
- Long-Term Partnership: Over 150 job placements in the Biddeford area have been made to date
- Extended Bonney’s Services: The successful handling of the hiring process encouraged Volk to utilize additional payrolling services from Bonney, further streamlining their HR operations and reducing costs
