A leading international manufacturing firm sought to expand into the U.S. market with a focus on the company’s reputation for quality. Needing to ramp up hiring without significant overhead, they turned to RPO firm Hire Velocity for end-to-end recruiting support, including a tailored recruitment process outsourcing program. Not having an established recruiting department, they needed a partner who would assume responsibility for every stage of the process, from job planning and candidate generation strategies to active screening and onboarding.
Open positions were at the senior and executive level in branch management, sales, human resources and engineering. The company valued entrepreneurial skills, P&L management, and industry experience in these positions.
Hire Velocity Solution - Tailored Recruitment Process Outsourcing Program
Acting as the firm’s internal recruiting team, Hire Velocity established a Full Cycle Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) program to manage the firm’s hiring lifecycle.
Lacking significant brand recognition in the United States, the client appreciated Hire Velocity’s broad-based candidate attraction strategy. Hire Velocity leveraged direct sourcing and passive candidate development, as well as active candidate screening. A custom web portal was also created for the client.
A combined solution of a proprietary applicant tracking system, advanced technology and disciplined recruitment methodology allowed Hire Velocity to take ownership of the recruiting process, establishing aggressive goals and timelines for each RPO component:
- Job planning
- Sourcing strategy
- Candidate development
- Resume reviews
- Phone screening
- Pre-interview screens
- Onboarding process
Manufacturing Firm’s Recruitment Process Outsourcing Results
Hire Velocity’s streamlined process resulted in better, faster hires immediately and more efficient future processes. More than 1,500 executive level candidates were processed and submitted, with more than 60 hires during the engagement.
Working in partnership with the manufacturing client, Hire Velocity helped staff its two initial U.S. branches, and will help with the six to ten future branch openings in the pipeline. Automated hiring processes like candidate status notification were also implemented. Through streamlined future-proof processes, Hire Velocity was able to help the manufacturing firm set their hiring department up for success with weekly follow ups, and customized reporting on key performance measures and more.
