High-volume production demands a high-performing workforce, but for one major food manufacturer in Ireland, persistent recruitment gaps were threatening productivity. Staffline Recruitment Ireland stepped in with an embedded onsite recruitment solution that turned things around fast.
The Challenge
Despite being a well-established brand in the food production sector, this employer was struggling with:
- Repeated shortfalls in staffing levels
- Slow time-to-hire
- High seasonal demand fluctuations
- Internal HR teams stretched too thin
They needed a recruitment partner who could embed seamlessly into their site, understand the demands of shift-based manufacturing, and deliver results fast.
The Solution
Staffline deployed a dedicated onsite team directly into the client’s facility. This team was responsible for:
- Forecasting workforce needs in real time
- Handling attraction, vetting, compliance and onboarding
- Liaising daily with production managers
- Driving ongoing candidate engagement to boost retention
The Outcome
- 3-day average time-to-hire
- Improved workforce stability across peak periods
- Stronger collaboration between operations and recruitment
- Proactive recruitment strategy tailored to the production cycle
Having the Staffline team on site has made a huge difference. They understand how we work, they’re here when we need them, and they’ve taken the pressure off our internal teams.
