Recruiting the Right Team

Our client is a global provider of innovative supply chain solutions for companies in the aerospace, defense, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries. As part of a recent merger, the company decided to expand its shared services center in Chihuahua, Mexico, and hire an additional 35 resources in 3 months.

Client Challenges

• Misunderstanding of the compensation needed to hire the right talent

• Inadequate use of existing search tools, limiting the pool of candidates

• Inefficient selection process leading to delays in hiring, often losing candidates to other companies

• Lack of candidate pipeline management, leading to duplication of efforts and missed opportunities to hire resources

• Absence of a standard, data-driven, candidate grading system to evaluate all candidates under the same criteria

• Aggressive timeline to complete the hiring process for all 35 resources
