Steel Company Uses RPO for Skilled Trade Expansion
Business Need
A large number of employees retiring and job restructuring meant that this steel manufacturer needed a staffing process that would support hiring new production employees within 90 days at 2 locations. Several skilled trade jobs were also combined which created a need to hire people with diverse technical skills.
Our Strategy
The RightThing designed, built and implemented a streamlined, scalable staffing process to support current and future staffing needs. The process includes an automated and streamlined intake and prescreening and test administration.
Return on Investment
- Reduced cost per hire by 40%
- Hired over 300 new employees in 90 days
- Filled 40 skilled trade positions with the required background in electrical, welding, maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Increased the number of candidates applying via web to 85%
Sustaining the Success
The initial expansion project was so successful that The RightThing continues to support these plants with attrition hiring. Other plants have also been incorporated into this outsourced staffing model.
