Keeping Facilities Fully Staffed at Mazza Recycling

Mazza Recycling Services needs employees who are willing to get dirty and perform hard, manual labor. Staffing agencies are expensive and underdeliver in terms of the volume of qualified applicants, so Mazza was looking for a new solution to keep their centers staffed at capacity. In addition to increasing their applicant pool, Mazza also wanted to be more efficient and effective at communicating with their employees, particularly with non-English speakers.

Solutions for Communicating with a Nontraditional Workforce

Reaching Non-English Speakers

With Team Engine’s employee texting capabilities, communicating across language barriers has become less of a burden. Now, Mazza's HR Coordinator is able to translate both outgoing and incoming messages with employees, instantly and directly within the software.

Automated Onboarding Messaging for New Hires

When a candidate moves from "applicant" to "employee," Team Engine kicks off a series of automated text messages that have been customized to match Mazza's onboarding process.

Texting with Employees

Mazza's HR Coordinator was attaching memos to check stubs and asking managers to verbally make announcements on her behalf. With the implementation of Team Engine, they’ve eliminated all of that and write one message in the software, then send it directly to all employees’ text message inbox where it’s guaranteed to be seen.

"It saves me time & it’s effective. It’s beneficial for HR because not only does it combine recruiting and the 30-60-90 day onboarding process, the text tool is incredibly useful for communication. Even just grouping employees by work function to communicate with them - I can’t create those same kinds of groups nearly as easily in Microsoft Outlook. And then when they’re terminated, I don’t have to worry about going back in and removing them from different sending groups. It helps improve HR functions as a whole."

Feature #1

Central Hub for All Hiring Communication & Tracking

Team Engine's centralized messaging hub keeps work-related communications off of the HR Coordinator's personal device and on her work computer, where they belong. They're also accessible to other Team Engine users with proper permissions.

Feature #2

Text Message Communication with Applicants & Employees

Mazza’s labor force includes people with disabilities, ex-offenders reentering the workforce, immigrants and other types of nontraditional workers—all of whom prefer to be contacted via text, as opposed to phone calls and email.

Feature #3

Employee Language Preferences & Notifications

Team Engine’s employee records track each person’s preferred language and provides in-line translation tools to ensure all employees get the right message at the right time, and in a language they can understand.

All recruiting software offers the same thing. The ability to text with applicants and employees was the differentiator for me. I have managers who never sit at their desk for the majority of their work week, so texting was a game changer for us.
