Fortunately, more purposeful and strategic solutions (like working with a team of expert talent strategists) are emerging and producing the qualified candidates companies need. In this article, we’ll explore best practices, industry and hiring trends, and how to choose the best recruitment solutions for your business.
Driving Growth Through Strategic Talent Acquisition
As an automotive insurance company prepared to go public, it needed a scalable, high-quality salesforce to support its expansion while maintaining its unique company culture. EG Workforce Solutions implemented a targeted recruitment strategy, filling 100% of positions with top-tier candidates, enhancing employee satisfaction, and ensuring the sales team was positioned for long-term success.
Empowering Communities Through Strategic Staffing

Improve Retention by 52% with EG RPO
Struggling with high turnover and limited hiring resources, a renowned restaurant chain needed to fill 200 manager roles in just four months to prevent lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction. EG Workforce Solutions implemented a tailored RPO strategy, cutting hiring cycle time by 51%, improving retention by 52%, and boosting candidate engagement—leading to a long-term partnership.
EG’s RPO Solution Transforms Company’s Hiring Strategy
Facing nearly 100% turnover, a specialized living company needed a scalable hiring solution to improve efficiency and retention. EG Workforce Solutions revamped their recruitment and onboarding processes, reducing time-to-fill to 30 days, cutting onboarding time by 67%, and implementing data-driven strategies to address turnover causes.
Executive Placement for a Chief Revenue Officer

EG conducted a targeted executive search, presenting 22 high-quality candidates and filling the role within three months, enabling the company to accelerate growth and optimize operations.
Streamlining Food Service: Staffing Solutions for Educational Institutions
Staffing shortages and high turnover in the food service department of an educational institution strained HR resources and impacted meal consistency for students. By building a strategic partnership, refining candidate screening, and providing responsive staffing solutions, EG reduced turnover and successfully filled 29 critical roles, ensuring a stable workforce for the school year.
The Secrets of Meeting Unstable Consumer Demand
Meeting surging demand in the construction sector required filling 2,000 roles nationwide, but challenges like high turnover, low candidate responsiveness, and a lack of internal accountability slowed progress. By leveraging market insights, targeted sourcing, and continuous candidate engagement, EG reduced turnover by 30%, improved hiring efficiency, and successfully filled all positions while enhancing candidate quality and satisfaction.
Saving Our Client $2.1M+ Through Revolutionized Workforce Management
EG Workforce transformed the hiring strategy of a leading food manufacturer struggling with a 160% annual turnover among its 600 hourly employees. Without an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), identifying attrition trends was challenging, leading to high recruitment and training costs. By implementing a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) model, shifting to direct hires, and integrating EG’s proprietary ATS, the company saw a 30% improvement in first 30-day retention, reduced hiring costs by $150,000, and lowered overtime expenses from 6% to 2%, saving $170,000. Overall, these strategic changes resulted in total cost savings of over $2.1 million while improving workforce stability and operational efficiency.
EG Partnership Drives Productivity and Growth
Faced with technical debt, inefficiencies, and low productivity, a major technology company needed a solution to realign its IT team and product strategy. EG Tech placed a Senior Software Engineering Manager who streamlined processes, improved accountability, and mentored emerging leaders, allowing the VP of Product and Technology to shift focus to strategic initiatives. As a result, productivity increased by at least $100,000 annually, operational inefficiencies were reduced, and the company gained a stronger foundation for revenue growth and customer satisfaction.
