Discover how Inter-Connect was able to help these great companies and hiring managers improve upon their success:

International Agra Products Manufacturing Firm

After a year, the company was unable to staff its team using a local staffing firm. We were called to consult on solving the problem. We formed a project team using our multiphase approach to analyze the staffing problem. We developed a thoroughly documented job analysis and sourcing strategy to recruit for several functional positions in light manufacturing, laboratory, warehouse, shipping, office, and administration to support its international operations.

Processes Included

Development of project planning and strategy for each phase of the staffing process upgrade.
Development of all online behavioral-based interviews, testing, and verification strategies.
Project management, including review of deliverables, task accounts, and schedules, and management reporting on progress.
Implementation of a project-management system for scheduling all tasks.

Results

We completed team building satisfactory to the company within approximately two months and continue today to exclusively staff talent needs as they come up.

International Heavy Industrial Manufacturing Company

The company requested that we respond to an RFQ and develop a comprehensive staffing plan to solve several issues relating to poor retention and safety issues they were experiencing with another local staffing provider. We responded immediately and conducted a comprehensive job analysis, interviewed company job experts, and identified the core causes of the issues to address.

Processes Included

Interviews with the company’s management team and job experts to prepare the job analyses.
Development of a project-planning strategy for each phase of a new staffing proposal.
Development of all online, testing and verification strategies.
Partnered with a local medical facility to develop a custom job-simulated physical.
Project management including review of job analysis, deliverables, insurance, and management reporting on progress.
Implementation of a long-term project-management system for staffing a wide range of functional positions.

Results

We then created a stand-alone company dedicated exclusively to the unique situation of this client. Our customized work products included a redesign of sourcing, recruiting, onboarding, safety orientation, and a plan for integrated collaboration between our team and the client’s hiring managers. All hiring metrics were dramatically improved immediately. Our revised strategy resulted in a decrease in work-related injuries and subsequently, millions saved in insurance premiums.

Light Industrial Startup Manufacturing Company

This company made a strategic decision to relocate all operations to Quincy, Illinois. The company issued an RFQ for full staffing services to recruit and hire a high-performance team of approximately 70 people in light manufacturing, warehouse, office, administration, management, and supervisor functions. Our team was awarded the bid based on our comprehensive quality and value-added approach. In implementing the customized staffing plan, we used a proprietary three-phase approach to analyze and develop the staffing center process for these direct hire positions.

Processes Included

Interviewing users and managers, and evaluating requirements in order to document job analysis.
Development of strategic and legally compliant plans to aid the company in analyzing the alternatives during the bidding process.
Development of detailed task descriptions and planning charts for the staffing plan.
Assisting the client in the development, implementation, and initial execution of evaluation and staffing project management systems.

Results

Over the course of this hiring project, we reviewed and assessed nearly 2,000 applications, conducted customized structured behavioral event interviews, and prepared dossiers on the most suitable candidates. We filled all of the positions to the company’s complete satisfaction and achieved 100% retention for over six months. We continue to fill requisitions as needed.

President Recruitment for a Not-for-Profit Organization

Julie Bonansinga was an executive member of the board of directors for this not-for-profit. The board requested that she and a team of executives provide advice for nationwide recruitment for a new president.

Processes Included

Interviews with stakeholders, employees, and advisors to prepare the job analysis.
Development of a recruitment project planning strategy.
Development of all online applications.
Customized interview modules integrated with job analysis.
Multistage interviews.
Due diligence and verification strategies.

Results
