Engineering & Construction - Case Study No. 1
Case study on how cors, Inc provided recruiting support for a global engineering and construction firm.
Problem:
One of the world’s largest engineering firms with more than 35,000 employees and global expertise in engineering and construction, required recruiting support for numerous highly specialized and technical engineering positions. Engineering disciplines supported included Material Management, Civil, Structural, Design, Mechanical, Turbine Generators, Quality Control and Electrical Design. All opportunities were permanent, full-time and included executive level positions. The nationwide search supported openings on both the East and West Coasts. Given the restrictive, specializes skillset requirements of the open positions, the candidate pool was known to be limited. The client’s internal recruiting resources had exhausted established avenues for generating candidate flow with little success. As a result, most positions had been open for ninety days or longer, which had significantly impacted project deliverables for several of the client’s key accounts.
Implementation:
cors, Inc was contracted by the client to conduct a nationwide search for candidates who met the client’s stringent qualification criteria. Candidates were sourced directly from specific industry targets and geographic regions. The cors’ research team verified each candidates experience and qualifications. The client’s value proposition, including relocation assistance was shared with candidates. Those candidates who matched the client’s specifications and had stated an interest in the client’s opportunity, were routed to the client’s hiring managers.
Results:
cors’ ability to reach directly into specific nationwide targets was exactly what the client required to generate candidate flow. As many of the client’s positions had been vacant for an extended period of time, cors’ ability to provide hiring managers with qualified, interested candidates provided immediate staffing relief. Despite the highly specialized and technical nature of the client’s openings, cors relentless commitment to a consistent delivery process ensured the client quickly received candidates who met requirements and were interested in the client’s opportunity. As a result, the client was able to fill key openings in support of business and client requirements.
