International Solar Manufacturer

1,300 New Employees

CHALLENGE

One of the largest international solar manufacturers had to ramp up and scale their business fast, needing 1,100 employees within only five months due to a mandated staffing level increase and deadline. They came to The Imagine Group with a goal that had to be achieved, but no approach or objectives on how to accomplish the task at hand. The company was also in need of a staffing firm that could withstand the level of interviews and screening that would be necessary for this many new employees.

SOLUTION

The Imagine Group offered a world class contingent workforce management program that leveraged the community, new jobs and resources. This strategy included on-site presence and mass visibility to candidates who were interested in this type of work. The short-term objective was to interview up to 100 people a day for multiple open shifts and positions. Once candidates were hired, it was also important that The Imagine Group could provide communication about cancellations and payroll. A hotline was also created for candidates to call and allowed The Imagine Group to address their concerns, issues, and payment questions

OUTCOME

Overall, the project was a huge success, and The Imagine Group met the client’s hiring demand with 1,300 new employees after screening nearly 10,000 people. With appropriate governance in place, Imagine Staffing provided guidance on the interview process, on-site drug screening, and proper onboarding. The Imagine Group’s strategy for implementing a contingent workforce management program has proven proof of concept. They understand that time is money, especially on a shorter time frame and were able to affect the client’s name and business in a positive light
