The challenge: a recruitment model that couldn't keep pace with business demand was costing the company time, productivity, and talent.
A global life sciences, biotechnology, and diagnostics leader with 63,000 employees across 18 operating companies needed a recruitment partner that could keep pace with growth. Its previous provider struggled to fill manufacturing roles. Long hiring cycles, inexperienced recruiters, and unqualified candidates led to high attrition — leaving critical positions unfilled and slowing operations.
Solution: full-service RPO to attract and retain high-quality, work-ready talent at the speed and scale the business demands.
As an expert partner, KellyOCG® delivered a recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) solution to address the company’s challenges starting in the U.S. The solution integrated fully trained, experienced recruiters into the company's team to source the qualified candidates needed to meet immediate project demands. This flexible model allowed the company to scale support as hiring needs shifted — delivering fast results while laying the groundwork for a long-term partnership.
Recruiters worked alongside the company’s internal talent acquisition team to provide candidates with a consistent, unified hiring experience while continuously improving speed and quality. And because KellyOCG operates as a single point of contact across multiple workforce solutions, the company can tap into additional capabilities as needs evolve.
Result: filled 2,782 roles in one year and expanded globally.
KellyOCG filled 50 direct-hire roles for the company in the first three months — on time and with higher-quality candidates than the previous provider. As a result, the company expanded the partnership with KellyOCG by adding RPO services to its global operations across four continents.
A 42-person global team now supports direct-hire roles across North America, Brazil, EMEA, and APAC. Last year, KellyOCG filled 2,782 direct-hire positions for the company. The company recognizes KellyOCG as an integral part of its talent strategy and has extended its master services agreement for the next three years.
