Situation

An established manufacturing organization, recently acquired by a global parent company, was navigating a period of major transition. The acquisition led to leadership gaps, with some key leaders underperforming or departing. As a result, the organization faced an urgent need to fill two critical plant manager roles at newly acquired facilities on the East Coast—one in New Hampshire and one in Connecticut. 

Although the HR Director initially attempted to fill the roles independently, they encountered difficulties in sourcing qualified candidates quickly enough to meet operational demands.

Solution

Strategic partnership: With a longstanding, trusted relationship already in place, our team was called upon to assist. Leveraging our extensive network, robust internal database, and targeted digital job postings, we moved swiftly to identify and present highly qualified candidates. 

Strong candidate talent pool: Within just three days of receiving the openings, EG presented the first slate of candidates, followed by additional strong options shortly thereafter.

Deep organizational understanding: Our deep understanding of the organization’s expectations and culture allowed us to match candidates precisely to their needs, expediting the hiring process significantly.

Results

• EG presented candidates within three days of receiving the openings
• Completed interviews and extended offers within four weeks
