Workforce Ramp-Up | Nesco Resource

Situation

For over a decade, we have been a trusted staffing partner for a client inthe renewable energy sector. As a key supplier for several large, sustainability-focused customers, they faced a challenge when one of theirtop customers requested a significant production increase in a short periodof time. This required our client to scale their workforce from an average of 40–50 associates to 130–150 within just a few months. Industry

Solution

To meet this critical ramp-up, we took a proactive, consultative approach that went beyond our usual process:

High-volume recruiting: Increased our candidate pipeline from sending 8–10 pre-screened applicants per week to organizing large-scale hiring events.
Onsite job fairs: Proposed and executed three hiring events at the customer’s facility within five weeks—fully managed by our team.
Dedicated support: Hired a Key Account Manager role to oversee hiring, onboarding, HR issues, and serve as a single point of contact, ensuring smooth communication and faster resolutions.
Process collaboration: Worked with their HR team to develop better screening questions and a more consistent interview approach.

Result

Our strategic plan delivered results quickly and strengthened our long-term partnership:

Successful events: Delivered 171 candidates through the job fairs, resulting in 84 job offers.
Process improvements: Implemented weekly tracking for real-time updates on candidate status, orientation dates, and start dates.
Partnership growth: Met the ramp-up goals and demonstrated exceptional service, earning us the largest share of their staffing business over other agencies.

Nesco Resource’s proactive, collaborative approach delivered measurable results under tight timelines. We met our client’s urgent workforce needs and strengthened our position as their preferred staffing partner for the future.
