As a manufacturer of infrastructure components used in data centers, our client was seeing a boom in demand for it is products.

With forecasts showing increasing demand for its products, our client turned to Employbridge for support.

What we did

Aggressive recruiting, careful selection, and thorough skill validation helped us succeed where the other agencies had struggled. We customized our ebMax solution to address the specific needs of this client, with strategies that included:

Our team developed a detailed, week-by-week plan that included posting on social media, attending in-person job fairs, making cold calls, and developing a text messaging campaign. They also created yard signs and fliers for grassroots outreach.
Before placement, we required 100% of our associates to complete assessments for detail focus, pick ticket, math, measuring, and safety awareness. Each associate also completed E-Verify and Form I-9 reviews to confirm their work eligibility and underwent a 10-panel drug screen.
Our client needed to hire a large number of forklift operators to bring parts to the manufacturing line and unload trucks. We required all candidates for those positions to complete assessments that confirmed their knowledge, skills, and ability to operate safely.
Once associates were on the floor, our SPM assessed them for skills and offered coaching when needed. The SPM’s consistent communication and quality reviews helped us retain associates for this client.
We used an offshore recruiting team to reach out to applicants very quickly – typically within an hour. This outreach helped us build a large group of candidates, who then were assessed by our local branch recruiters and forklift specialists.
