Like so many other businesses, our client found itself grappling with rapid business expansion and an overloaded HR department. They faced the challenge of managing the surge in growth while lacking a dedicated HR manager to oversee recruitment. As a result, they were conducting 40 interviews per week to fill positions and sought assistance in streamlining their process to enhance efficiency.
This problem is common among businesses that are growing quickly, as they often find their HR and recruiting teams and processes are not able to keep up with the pace of growth. The challenge, in this case, was to build a successful professional recruitment strategy tailored specifically for this company while managing the recruiting life cycle from end to end. This involved process management outsourcing and designing a comprehensive recruitment strategy.
The case study examines how the company developed its HR team by leveraging insights from an experienced external consultant. It discusses the strategies that were successful and how they optimized their recruiting process for greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Finally, it examines the outcomes of these changes and how they improved both their recruitment outcomes and the overall efficiency of their HR department.
This can be a valuable insight for companies looking to transition from an underdeveloped HR team into one that is more effective and productive. It highlights the importance of leveraging external resources, such as experienced consultants, to develop successful professional recruiting strategies tailored to your business.
An automated applicant tracking system (ADP) was created to manage the pool of candidates, keeping them engaged and informed throughout the whole recruitment process. This involved marketing activities within brand standards as well as partnering at the front end with contingency plans in place. By adhering to brand standards, the job was completed within just one month of marketing. Our team flawlessly assimilated with the larger company and brand standards throughout.
The MAU team organized a Job Fair that had a huge impact on the client's brand presence in the area, significantly increasing their candidate pool and facilitating their success. Due to the overwhelming response, the decision was made to switch to an invite-only system.
The outcome of these successful strategies was improved recruitment outcomes and greater efficiency for the entire HR department. Roles were filled faster, at both hourly and salary rates, while our consultants provided training during their transition period to ensure full understanding and integration into all aspects of their new roles. Ultimately, we have been able to fill 318 roles for this client, with countless more on the horizon, and we are expanding into other facilities.
