We partnered with a global automotive company to help them connect with skilled maintenance talent through a tailored RPO solution.
To deliver the right solution for this global client, it was important for us to get under the skin of this challenge. We spent time onsite and with their internal HR team to make sure we understood their specific talent needs. We combined this information with local and national market analysis to develop a targeted sourcing and recruitment strategy.
We engaged expert sourcing specialists to build talent pipelines quickly. To increase access to talent in competitive regions, we identified target industries with transferable skills. We also increased the scope of the client’s sourcing channels – including social media and military outlets. We were able to quickly grow a pipeline of qualified candidates, realizing 52 hires in 12 months.
The client was experiencing a high dropout and failure rate for candidates going through their application and assessment process. We identified ways to improve candidate experience, including reducing the length of the assessment schedule to maintain candidate engagement. Through these changes, we reduced the candidate ‘no show’ rate to 15% (from 80% previously).
Our client was passionate about expanding diversity within their skilled maintenance hires. We used market analysis to identify diversity within key fields and regions and actively targeted diverse candidates, exceeding all diversity goals for hiring.
