Targeted Recruitment- Process-Outsourcing
Challenge
An international, multi-billion dollar manufacturing company was seeking to redevelop its Research & Development team in Toronto, Ontario. The plan was to merge global design and engineering under one location to support the company’s various global business operations. Through this initiative Toronto would become the centre of excellence for design and engineering worldwide. The mandate required hiring more than 100 engineers of varying degrees of capabilities and seniority in a 4-month period through three separate phases.Insights
It was evident that the talent pool for such an undertaking could not be limited to the Toronto area or in fact the entire country of Canada. There simply weren’t enough qualified and available candidates as the positions required were sought after by all competitors. Hence, a global search program would be necessary. The program was to be measured through:- Reduction of “time to hire”
- Reduction of “cost per hire”
- Proactive “delivery on demand” environment
- Streamlined recruitment standards
- Reduction of management time on recruitment administration
- Efficiently implemented process for high quality and performance benchmarks
- Transparent, fixed pricing, scalable model with strategic allocation of recruitment dollars
- Customized and sustainable talent database
