Phoenix Logistics is Growing Fast
Phoenix has become a major logistics hub, with distribution centers expanding across the Valley. E-commerce fulfillment, third-party logistics, and supply chain operations all compete for the same workers. When hiring season hits, warehouses that move slowly get left with empty positions.
Phoenix logistics companies report needing 40-60% more seasonal workers than they can hire. The candidates who apply today are working somewhere else by next week.
Warehouse workers often apply after their current shift—late night or early morning. If your recruiter doesn't reach them until the next business day, they've already committed elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Joy verify forklift certifications?
Joy asks candidates about their forklift certification type (sit-down, reach truck, stand-up, order picker), who issued the certification, and when it expires. This information is captured in the interview summary for your verification process.
Does Joy work for high-volume seasonal hiring?
Yes. Joy scales automatically—whether you're screening 50 applicants or 5,000. During peak seasons, every candidate gets the same thorough screening regardless of volume.
How does Joy handle candidates with no warehouse experience?
For entry-level positions, Joy focuses on availability, reliability, physical capabilities, and trainability. Experience questions adapt based on what candidates report, so those without prior warehouse work still get properly evaluated.
Can Joy screen for cold storage positions?
Yes. Joy can ask about temperature tolerance, experience in refrigerated or frozen environments, and willingness to work in cold conditions throughout shifts.
What if a candidate doesn't answer Joy's call?
Joy automatically retries calls at smart intervals. Candidates can also click a link to start their interview when ready. You set the follow-up rules that work for your hiring process.
