The Challenge

Shinesty, the irreverent apparel brand famous for its bold designs and viral holiday campaigns, faced its toughest Q4 yet. With online orders surging nearly over the previous year, the company’s Boulder warehouse was operating at maximum capacity. Tight shipping windows, strict accuracy standards, and an upbeat company culture made finding the right temporary workforce even harder.

Traditional staffing partners couldn’t keep pace — sending workers who lacked both reliability and energy. Turnover rates spiked, training time doubled, and fulfillment teams were stretched thin just as peak season hit full stride. Shinesty needed a staffing solution that could scale fast without sacrificing culture or quality.

The Result

Laborjack stepped in with a flexible, fully vetted workforce trained for high-volume warehouse operations. Within 72 hours, Laborjack filled every open shift and maintained perfect attendance through the entire holiday rush. Workers were onboarded quickly, matched for both skill and attitude, and immediately integrated into Shinesty’s fulfillment teams.

The result was 100% shift coverage, a 45% reduction in training time, and a 99.8% on-time fulfillment rate — all while keeping Shinesty’s fun, high-energy environment intact. Laborjack’s crews became a reliable extension of the Shinesty brand, turning what had been a staffing headache into a competitive advantage during the busiest season of the year.
