Global Recruitment Process Outsourcing between US and Shanghai

Hudson provided our client the power to emerge victorious in a talent war while building their employer brand.

As a $1 billion world leader in testing instrumentation, measurement, and monitoring, our technology client is an innovator in many areas.

CLIENT CHALLENGE

During an acutely candidate-short market, the company faced severe problems in recruiting for its manufacturing and sales division in Shanghai. The US-based Global Human Resources Director needed a solution to improve the company’s processes, maximize candidate reach and clear up a substantial backlog of unfilled positions. They turned to Hudson for a solution that would bring the value of innovation into their recruitment function.

HUDSON SOLUTION

Hudson’s unparalleled global capabilities made it easy to deliver the best solution. Our Recruitment Process Outsourcing experts provided an on-site team in the US to streamline the company’s overall recruitment function. Next, we implemented a best practice process between the US and China to maximize the client’s ability to attract and source specialist professionals directly from the local market in Asia.

The Hudson team was responsible for delivering 30-40 multi-category open job requisitions on a monthly basis. We utilized direct-to-market strategies, and provided vendor management for a panel of company-selected preferred vendors.

Hudson also focused on building the employer brand in the US and overseas to provide more firepower in the global war for talent. We increased awareness of the company’s employment proposition and job opportunities through a comprehensive sourcing strategy that included employee referral programs, online user group forums and industry journals.

• Critical senior positions filled in a short time frame
• More than 60% filled directly from the marketplace, rather than from third party vendors, as a result of an improved employer brand
