Problem
Kalmar Global faced a critical workforce expansion challenge to meet the increasing global demand for its services. The company needed a reliable recruitment partner who could:
- Source skilled professionals with expertise in heavy equipment, logistics, and technical support.
- Ensure compliance with international employment standards.
- Streamline the recruitment process to reduce hiring timelines and prevent operational disruptions.
With a tight timeframe and a need for high-quality talent, Kalmar required a recruitment solution that was both efficient and compliant.
Recruit
We maintained open communication with Kalmar Global to align recruitment with business objectives.
Kalmar had tried to recruit on their own but found it “extremely difficult to get skilled people, especially tradesmen.”
“Then we realised we can keep doing the same thing and expend a lot of energy for a very, very poor result or try something different. The Philippines is well known for the skill, quality and work ethic” said Global Sales Manager, Ken Staplyton.
Review & Screen
TPRC utilised our AI – Client Profile Identity Targeting (CPIT) throughout an extensive database and network to identify only the top talent
Reduced recruitment timeframes were achieved through proactive sourcing and pre-vetting.
Pre-screening and skills assessments were conducted next to ensure high candidate quality.
Interview
The efficient recruitment workflow significantly reduced hiring time, enabling Kalmar to maintain productivity without delays
“The people TPRC put in front of us were really well credentialed. Most of them had 10-15 years experience,” said Ken Stapylton, Global Sales Manager.
Post Placement Support
TPRC provided post-placement support through our Lifetime Relationships Program to ensure candidate satisfaction and retention.
Kalmar benefited from skilled Filipino workers known for their technical expertise, reliability, and adaptability in a global work environment.
The success of initial placements led to an ongoing collaboration between Kalmar and TPRC for future hiring needs.
