A global plastics manufacturer needed to modernize its manufacturing plant recruitment processes in order to rapidly—and digitally—source, interview, hire, and onboard employees in the suddenly all-remote pandemic reality. Thus, the company needed a consultant with experience in both HR operations and process improvement, as well as manufacturing recruiting experience. Business Talent Group (BTG) delivered a senior human resources executive with talent acquisition, change management, and organizational effectiveness expertise spanning across multiple industries and functions, including consumer goods and pharmaceutical manufacturing. She was able to conduct a thorough assessment of the recruiting process and related metrics—from sourcing and interviewing to hiring and onboarding.
