Managed Recruitment Outsourcing for a $1.5 Billion Heavy Equipment Manufacturer

Business Issue

Due to rising commodity prices and global growth, Novo's client had hiring managers demanding more resources.  The HR department had a generalist structure and had limited hiring needs in the past and building out an internal recruitment function did not make sense due to the cyclical nature of their business model.  However, HR's long term vision was to have a seamless world class recruiting function that would meet the business needs of the internal customers.

Novo's Solution

Novo helped the client design a new talent acquisition workflow and service level agreements with hiring managers while ramping up a team of 4 recruiting resources focused on all professional level and executive searches. Over the last 3 years Novo has had anywhere from 1 to 4 recruiters on site with expansion to a sister company.

Results

Change management and the strong relationship with Novo and the HR staff enabled the project to launch smoothly, producing 8% cost per hires and 49 day "time to hire" metrics with a great experience for hiring managers. This restored confidence in the HR team's ability to align recruiting with business strategies.
