Hiring in manufacturing is tough. Plants and factories need staff on the line fast, but recruitment teams are under constant pressure to deliver safely and at scale.
The Challenge
Recruitment in manufacturing is a balancing act between speed, safety, and scale.
- Turnover rates in frontline roles can reach 20–30%.
- Recruiters must screen hundreds of shift-based applicants per site.
- Over 70% of candidates apply via mobile, not email or desktop.
- Compliance is heavy: safety certificates, licences, and medicals.
- Manual screening and chasing paperwork overwhelm recruiters.
The result: slow hires, compliance risks, and high costs when the wrong people are brought on board.
