Our client, a consumer products company, turned to Robertson to provide a turnkey solution to its temporary hiring needs. Located in a remote rural area, and with a small in-house recruitment team, our client needed a partner with resources and experience to create and manage multiple sourcing strategies to meet its tight timelines.
Anticipating a spike in consumption of products in late 2020/early 2021, the client contracted Robertson to recruit 50 temporary production labourers within four weeks, and to manage payroll for the production workers. It was also hoping to increase first day turnout, which had averaged only 50%.
Robertson analyzed the demographic landscape and utilized the client’s existing ATS database and community outreach to create a two-pronged approach. We also used off-shore sourcing support and on-shore recruiters to create a 16/5 work schedule to ensure coverage in all areas and meet target and timeline demands.
Robertson exceeded our client’s expectations. All 50 hires were made by the 3rd training date and the first day attendance rate was 95%.
