A Monday brief that beats the factory’s call

Luis runs the Guadalajara branch of a national staffing agency. He supplies operators and pickers to factories and warehouses. On Monday mornings, plants call wanting fifty workers by Wednesday. He hears about new plants on the radio, and about hiring drives when a rival’s bus is already at the gate. His Monday brief to recruiters is a guess. With xMap Flows, Luis built Roster. Every Monday at six, around the El Salto industrial corridor, Roster finds the plants hiring operators and pickers, reads the Jalisco business news for plants about to open, writes the week’s brief, and emails it to every recruiter. This Monday the brief names fourteen plants hiring and two new ones opening in spring. The recruiters spend the morning calling candidates, not guessing. When a plant calls for fifty pickers, Luis already has thirty waiting. Luis’s Monday brief used to be a guess. Now it is a head start.
