Circumstances:
A company embarking on a $300 million manufacturing and engineering center startup, employing 280 people, needed us to lead the HR effort.
Action:
We jump-started the lagging recruitment campaign through establishment of a custom, four-point hiring plan, setting up basic processes and disciplines for recruiting excellence, including daily manager involvement and a recruiting War Room with a battle wall. We also leveraged a recruitment process outsourcing solution (RPO), comprised of dedicated sourcing and screening support, online candidate skill and cultural fit assessment, and behavior-based interview methodology.
Results:
Our actions were recognized as an internal company best practice, resulting in over 50 successful international assignments completed with no incident, saving the company more than $150,000 annually compared to the former approach.
