22. Case studyA large aerospace customer needs a diverse, high-volume contingent workforce.Key elementsyOnsite account management team to deal with queries quickly and efficientlyyCreated standardised supply base with priority 1st tier and seven 2nd tier groupsyStreamlines recruitment process to achieve 100% compliance with hiring managersyEstablished innovative sourcing strategies for both blue- and white-collar workersyAverage turnaround time – from resume submission to start – of one weekThe situationA world leader in the design and manufacture of aviation products, our customer has an annual budget of nearly £140 million UK ($218 million US) for suppliers in the UK and Ireland. The company’s recruiting needs are significant, with manufacturing facilities that require everything from production fitters and quality inspectors to design and stress engineers. The company named us its official resourcing partner in 2006, asking us to manage its complete recruitment process using an e-commerce platform.Our responseOne of our first priorities was to embed an account management team onsite, allowing us to establish an accessible, responsive communications process. Next, we developed a two-tier staffing system: we managed the first tier—which comprised 43 percent of the company’s subcontractor workforce—onsite, and then outsourced the second tier through a rigorous vendor management program. This allowed us to meet the company’s demand for diverse, high-volume contingent labour in a short time frame. And to ensure accountability, we implemented a number of Service Level Agreement (SLA) deliverables, with key performance indicators (KPIs) reported each quarter.ResultsWithin the first 12 months, our customer’s contingent workforce grew from 59 to 681 contractors, with 100 percent starting at the target pay rate. This not only helped the company meet its manufacturing needs, but it also produced a significant cost savings. Over the life of the initial two-year, £40 million UK ($62 million US) contract, the company saved more than 10 percent in direct costs.
