Problem
The core problem was how to grow the ARB business amidst a national skills shortage.
ARB 4×4 Accessories was experiencing a high ‘post covid’ demand for their services. There was an opportunity to expand and capture the growing market demand. However, the company was already experiencing critical workforce challenges:
- Skilled Labor Shortage – The local labour market lacked enough qualified professionals to support any expansion goals.
- Maintaining Quality Standards – ARB’s rigorous quality and performance benchmarks could not be compromised.
- Workforce Cultural Stability – Preserving ARB’s cohesive working culture was important to provide workforce stability across their business.
Recruit
TPRC conducted a detailed review of ARB’s operational and cultural requirements to align the recruitment strategy.
We then customised and ran our AI Client Profile Identity Targeting (CPIT) program throughout our extensive database and network to identify the top talent suited specifically to ARB.
A smooth recruitment process helped to minimise downtime.
Review
The identified candidates underwent further technical evaluations and interviews to confirm suitability and skill level, before 91 were recommended to the client.
