160 Hires in 7 Months:
Corporate Job Bank's Success in Tackling Talent Challenges
While the current labor market is filled with exceptional candidates, many organizations compete for top talent, and unexpected events make talent acquisition more demanding. Workforce shifts since the pandemic have resulted in increased market volatility, making it even more difficult for many of our clients to find suitable labor. Recently, a leading global manufacturer intended to expand their regional workforce; here's how Corporate Job Bank helped their organization become fully operational, despite the competitive world of staffing and economic challenges.
OBSTACLE
A manufacturer of luxury consumer appliances needed to upscale its workforce in preparation for its new third shift work schedule strategies. This client needed to hire, onboard, and train approximately 160 professionals to fill their open positions within 7 months.
Because of the pandemic’s impact on the labor market, our client and many other companies worldwide experienced labor shortages, leading to fiercer competition among organizations to acquire qualified candidates. The prevailing economic conditions had led to skyrocketing pay rates that ultimately increased hiring costs. On top of these concerns, our client could not expand their HR team for what was a short-term project.
Our team efficiently addressed staffing needs for a similar project in 2012 that involved setting up a new distribution center. Through our Rapid Hire services and temp-to-hire model, we supplied 80 skilled individuals to meet their urgent staffing requirements, helping them achieve the broader objective of establishing a strong and enduring workforce. Between that time and the present, we consistently supplied the client superior staffing services for hundreds of open roles.
As a result, the manufacturing company opted to enlist our services instead of pursuing independent hiring and expanding their HR capabilities.
SOLUTIONS
For four decades, Corporate Job Bank has operated under the belief that people are at the heart of innovation and service. Leveraging a database of over 100,000 high-caliber candidates, we excel in swift hiring processes to fill positions efficiently at a competitive rate.
To successfully recruit 160 employees, we initiated a comprehensive marketing campaign to engage candidates.
- We collaborated with trade schools, universities, and other educational institutions to tap into emerging and fresh talent pools.
- Driven by our value of community, we engaged with community job programs to reach a broad audience.
- Considering the physical restrictions caused by the pandemic, we opted to utilize online platforms to post job openings and advertisements.
- Our agency organized and participated in job fairs to attract potential candidates.
- We implemented diverse campaigns across different social media platforms to improve our candidate reach.
- Corporate Job Bank established referral programs to leverage the networks of our client’s current employees and associates.
Aside from our marketing efforts, we also worked hard to streamline the entire hiring process. We started by creating a specialized team of four, guided by a Senior Manager with 25 years of industry experience, to coordinate and manage the entire hiring process.
Our agency developed a comprehensive multi-step screening process to evaluate candidates thoroughly and find top talent. The Corporate Job Bank team also conducted multiple rounds of interviews, thoroughly verifying each candidate’s educational acumen and personal background. Once they passed the initial interview conducted by our team, they went through the client’s specific assessments to ensure job fit.
OUTCOME
Corporate Job Bank successfully staffed the client’s third-shift workforce with the holistic approach of combining traditional and innovative recruitment strategies. Our client was able to hire 160 personnel in a short and difficult time frame.
Our recruitment team was able to adapt to the changing circumstances. We utilized the extension, which allowed our client to onboard and develop their new hires thoroughly and effectively, enhancing the skills and knowledge of the new workforce. The project was completed successfully within eight months through careful collaboration, ultimately fulfilling the client’s staffing needs by the amended deadline. Despite the rapid hiring scale and challenging labor market conditions, the project achieved an impressively low attrition rate of 18 percent over the first 90 days. The client even plans to replicate our hiring model for their future projects and new facilities.
