Mid-Year Hiring Check-in: What's Working, What isn't...and How to Fix it

WHAT'S WORKING: The manufacturers gaining ground are doing three things differently.
They're measuring what matters. Time to interview, offer acceptance rate, and candidate drop-off points. They know exactly where their process is strong and where it lacks.
They're moving faster. Unnecessary interview steps are gone. Internal approval timelines are scheduled.
They're thinking beyond the transaction. Instead of paying a placement fee every time a role opens, they've shifted to an embedded recruiting model that keeps candidates flowing into their pipeline warm year-round.
WHAT ISN'T...

WHAT ISN'T: Contingent search was built for one-off hires. Not for manufacturers who are building a team.
Per-placement fees of 20-30% of first-year salary add up fast. And between searches, the pipeline goes cold, the relationship resets, and you start over. Every time.
Mid-year evaluations are uncovering the same issues across manufacturing:

• Roles scoped too narrowly or too broadly
  
• Compensation ranges that no longer match the market
  
• Interview processes slowing decisions and losing candidates
  
• Contingent search costs quietly consuming budget 
  

"The problem isn't just the process. It's the model. Contingent search fills a role today. RaaS builds a candidate pipeline that fills your roles year-round."
HOW TO FIX IT: One predictable monthly investment. A dedicated team. No more starting from zero.
