Attrition can silently erode productivity and morale. For one high-volume employer in Ireland, the costs of turnover were rising fast until they made a strategic shift: bringing recruitment onsite. Staffline helped them not only fill roles but retain people for the long term.
The Challenge
The client, a major operator in the manufacturing sector, was facing:
- Staff turnover above 40% annually
- Repeated re-training costs
- Disrupted production schedules
- Candidate dropouts before or shortly after starting
They didn’t just need more applicants; they needed better retention.
The Solution
Staffline introduced a fully embedded onsite recruitment team that:
- Built candidate relationships from first contact to post-placement
- Improved candidate-job fit by working closely with shift leads
- Provided real-time feedback loops to improve onboarding and induction
- Took ownership of retention data and reporting
The Outcome
- 28% reduction in staff turnover within 9 months
- Higher first-month retention rates
- Faster time-to-competence for new starters
- Increased satisfaction reported by team leaders
The Staffline Onsite team took the time to understand who stays and why. They’ve built stronger teams, not just filled gaps.
