Situation
A leading food production company based in a small rural community was facing major hiring challenges. With limited access to a qualified local talent pool and low brand recognition, the organization struggled to find experienced candidates for critical roles–including two Maintenance Technicians and one Food Safety & Quality Technician.
Without a dedicated talent acquisition team, leadership lacked the time and resources to find and vet candidates on their own.
Solution
After gaining a clear understanding of the organization’s culture and goals, EG created a targeted sourcing strategy to identify qualified candidates. This included:
- Managing the full hiring process–reference checks, extending offers, and onboarding support
- Posting jobs on major boards using EG’s buying power to boost visibility
- Created a structured interview guide to evaluate skills, experience, and cultural fit
- Pitching the role and company to top candidates
Results
- Attracted quality candidates within 2 days of posting; first qualified candidate submitted in 8 days
- The Food Safety & Quality Technician role was hired in under 30 days, with both Maintenance Technicians roles filled shortly after
- Lowered recruitment costs by leveraging EG’s buying power on job boards, eliminating the need for client-paid marketing
