Onsite agency missed the mark. EPIQORE hit the target.
CHALLENGE:
An Engineering Manager at a global semiconductor company was looking for eight mid- to senior level software engineers to add to his team. He had submitted his request to the onsite primary staffing agency, but the resumes he received from them fell short of the qualifications required. He turned to EPIQORE for help.EPIQORE SOLUTION:
Our first step was to create a detailed software engineer profile based on the job requirements and client work environment. The client made it clear that there would be little “ramp up” time, so as we screened individuals we identified candidates who could immediately take charge and work with minimal supervision. As is our practice, the only resumes we provided to the Engineering Manager were those that met at least 90% of his requirements. We placed the first qualified engineer within two days. Within two weeks we had completely filled the request.RESULTS:
The primary agency was so impressed with our results, they asked us to be their primary agency and help them with any future needs they could not handle on their own. We continue to do so, and to date have placed more than 70 qualified candidates in various temporary and direct hire positions.High Tech Company needed to ramp up manufacturing. Quickly.
CHALLENGE:
A Silicon Valley high tech company needed to grow their manufacturing group from 10 to 120 employees within a 6-month period to support a new product line. They were working with a number of agencies, but none had provided candidates with the required skills and experience. They were looking for someone who understood manufacturing and could identify and provide talent that could hit the ground running.EPIQORE SOLUTION:
We assigned an account manager who could “talk manufacturing” with the hiring manager, and translate his needs into specific job requirements. We then carefully screened potential candidates to make sure they had the required skills and level of experience necessary to be immediately productive. Within a month we had successfully placed 30 qualified manufacturing employees. While we continued to fill the manufacturing requirements, we proactively recruited for support staff that we knew would be required by the expanded operations.RESULTS:
EPIQORE met the goal of staffing up the manufacturing group to 120 employees in less than 6 months. Additionally, when the company expressed the need for support staff in the areas of purchasing, material handling, quality assurance and shipping/receiving we were ready and able to fill it. As a result of our strategic staffing approach, we became the company’s trusted partner for all their staffing needs.Reluctant Candidate Lands Career-Boosting Role
