The Dilemma
An organization too focused on business acquisitions can often lose sight of its own transformation and growth. With decentralized HR efforts only marginally involved in the recruitment process, issues are exacerbated. One of Yoh’s clients, a leader in paint and coatings manufacturing, faced this very predicament as it worked to select its third RPO provider in charge of satisfying the company’s high-volume North American hiring needs in difficult-to source markets.
The Strategy
With an emphasis on engaging passive candidates in especially hard-to-fill markets, Yoh smoothly and thoroughly implemented a customized RPO solution, introducing a new – and at last, effective – recruitment strategy. Yoh’s highly trained and experienced delivery team provided the scalable resources necessary to meet the client’s evolving hiring requirements. By leveraging strategically located Recruitment Centers and in-market recruiters to cover all time zones, Yoh transformed the recruitment model, centralized processes, captured critical data and assisted with job normalization. On-demand reporting capability provided metrics highlighting trends, successes and areas to improve.
The Impact
With our signature consultative relationship, Yoh increased client confidence and trust throughout program adoption. A seamless implementation resolved critical issues without performance or production gaps, especially during the RPO provider transition. Ultimately, Yoh provided a solution that fostered a high-level candidate experience, which increased passive applicant traffic, reduced time-to-fill and improved legal compliance at all locations.
