The Challenge: Rapid Scaling Demands Innovative Solutions
A high-volume Automotive Supplier approached The Advance Group with a unique staffing challenge. They were experiencing explosive growth and urgently needed to expand their workforce. However, they desired a direct hire approach instead of traditional temp to hire staffing.
The Challenge:
- High Volume Hiring: The client needed to rapidly hire 75+ employees to maintain peak production capacity. Candidates needed to have a solid manufacturing background.
- Direct Hire Preference: The client sought to build a loyal workforce by directly hiring new employees
- Hiring Bottleneck: Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of hiring, their internal HR department lacked the in-house resources to manage the high-volume recruitment needs.
- Reduced Risk & Cost: The client desired a cost-effective solution that minimized risk associated with direct hires during a growth phase.
Our Solution: Tailored Onsite Staffing & Commitment-Based Hiring
The Advance Group recognized the need for a comprehensive staffing solution beyond a traditional approach. We proposed a two-pronged strategy:
- Onsite Recruiter: We deployed a dedicated recruiter directly at the client’s location. Having a representative onsite allowed for seamless integration with the client’s HR team by facilitating efficient communication and helped obtain a deeper understanding of specific job requirements.
- Commitment-Based Hiring Program: This innovative program offered a win-win for both the client and new hires. Employees were directly hired and received full benefits from day one, demonstrating the client’s commitment. For the client, The Advance Group offered a comprehensive solution with competitive fees, while mitigating the initial hiring risk.
