The client was a power and renewables contractor that engaged Infrastructure People to provide local resource advisory services, including end-to-end recruitment and external workforce strategy. The nine-month engagement was valued at $118,000 and delivered a managed, full resourcing strategy rather than a series of one-off placements.<\/p>\n
Like many contractors in 2022, the business experienced an unprecedented level of turnover across all blue-collar and white-collar roles, creating a significant challenge for delivery. It became clear that a different approach was needed, one that consolidated a fragmented recruitment effort into a single, accountable partner.<\/p>\n
We managed the full end-to-end resourcing strategy, drawing on local and international support. That meant identifying competitor tier one organisations with the relevant capability, using talent insights to target locations with a high density of the right people, and mapping candidates with specialist search tools. Weekly catch-ups with our United Kingdom-based consultants kept the search moving, and a four-stage method, discover, design, deliver and review, kept the client, applicants and stakeholders aligned throughout.<\/p>\n
Over nine months, Infrastructure People placed 18 roles locally, including project engineers, site supervisors, linesmen, a pre-contracts manager, an estimating manager and a senior project manager, at an average package of $200,000. Consolidating the effort into one partner delivered a record level of recruitment into the business and helped ensure projects were delivered to the satisfaction of the contractor’s own customers.<\/p>\n
When turnover spikes, spreading hiring across several suppliers rarely helps; it fragments effort and\u00a0drives up\u00a0cost.\u00a0Consolidating\u00a0into one partner with the reach to cover trades, technical and management roles\u00a0gives\u00a0an operator a single point of accountability, a lower total cost of hiring and a workforce strategy that holds up under pressure.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe needed a different approach to the usual\u00a0model, and\u00a0turned to Infrastructure People. We were able to cost effectively\u00a0consolidate\u00a0our recruitment into one partner, delivering a record level of recruitment into the business.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
