staff up

Add more employees

Staff up means to hire personnel, especially to increase workforce size in preparation for greater demand or expanded operations.

A company might staff up for the holiday season or staff up before launching a new product line.

The phrase emphasizes the process of adding employees rather than simply filling a single position.
