Case Study: Stonewall Kitchen achieves streamlined seasonal hiring and saves 60 hours per week with Paylocity

Modernizing HR to Streamline Rapid-Growth, Seasonal Hiring

Stonewall Kitchen, a York, ME–based specialty foods company with 500+ employees, faced mounting strain from rapid growth and highly variable seasonal hiring—hiring and rehiring hundreds of workers each year—while relying on a paper-based HR system. To modernize HR without losing the company’s family‑friendly culture, Stonewall Kitchen selected Paylocity and implemented its HR & Payroll platform and Onboarding module (along with benefit administration, LMS, peer recognition, and data insights).

Paylocity replaced piles of paper with a secure, cloud-based onboarding and HCM platform, automated complex seasonal hiring cycles, simplified compliance and training, and added dashboard analytics and peer-recognition tools. The change streamlined operations, improved the employee experience, and saved Stonewall Kitchen’s HR team about 60 hours per week—freeing staff for strategic work while maintaining a culture of recognition and support through Paylocity.
