“We’ve found a secret sauce with OfferUp. It’s a win-win for us and our candidates.”
— Kaleb Pask, Head of Talent, Public Storage
When it comes to high-volume hiring, few companies face challenges as complex as Public Storage, the largest self-storage provider in the U.S. With over 3,200 locations nationwide and 6,200 employees, including 5,000 property managers, their need for hyper-local talent is as vast as their operations.
But recruiting the right candidates with a mix of customer service, property maintenance, and problem-solving skills was proving difficult. Inefficient recruitment funnels and the struggle to find qualified, localized candidates were slowing them down. Enter OfferUp Jobs—a game-changing partner that helped Public Storage streamline its hiring process and meet its talent needs with ease.
The Hiring Challenges at Public Storage
Public Storage’s hiring journey was far from simple:
High-Volume Hiring: They needed candidates who could balance the demands of customer service, property upkeep, and problem-solving.
Cost vs. Quality: Traditional job boards brought a flood of applicants, but many lacked the required skills, wasting time and money.
Localized Needs: With operations spread across the country, finding hyper-local candidates was critical to align with their market-specific needs.
“Blasting job aggregators wasn’t yielding significant success,” Kaleb explained. “We needed to find candidates who weren’t actively looking for jobs but were a good fit.”
