Manufacturing Industry
The single biggest line item in the P&L for most manufacturers is their workforce. With increased competition and margin pressure coupled with globalization, manufacturers must adopt lean practices to hire rapidly and cost-effectively. With JobApp manufacturers have discovered that it is often less expensive to manage this function in-house than to outsource. Additionally, manufacturers have been able to accomplish with a single recruiter, what might have required an entire team of temporary recruiters in the past.
Using JobApp’s phone and web-based hiring management system, one such JobApp client, TPI Composites, was able to meet its hiring objectives on time for a new windmill blade manufacturing facility without contracting temporary recruiters and estimates full-year employee turnover to be nearly 75% below current industry averages.
| “Without JobApp we would have needed to contract outside companies or temporarily hire additional recruiters. I am very confident that we have hired the very best candidates available and, based on our numbers since early 2008, I expect full-year manufacturing employee turnover to be around 6 or 7%, which is unheard of in manufacturing,” stated Terri Rock, HR Director for TPI Composites. |
