TGW approached us with a unique challenge: rapid growth. Having recently secured new contracts, they needed support to scale quickly by staffing new launch sites while maintaining the workforce at their existing sites. This “good problem” required swift action and effective recruitment strategies to meet their expanding needs.
Client’s Challenge/Problem
TGW faced several key challenges as it underwent rapid growth and expansion. With only one recruiter handling all HR tasks, managing the recruitment process for new launch sites and existing locations became increasingly difficult. Given TGW’s high standards, they require only the best talent in the industry. This made it even more challenging to fill positions quickly while ensuring quality across all locations.
Our Approach/Strategy
Proactive Global stepped in after TGW recognized the value of our expertise in systems integration, built over the past 15 years. Understanding their urgent need for top-tier talent and rapid hiring, we crafted a customized recruitment strategy tailored to TGW's needs.
Our strategy involved building a dedicated team of industry-experienced recruiters and sourcing specialists to focus on their unique requirements. This team was designed to scale quickly, ensuring TGW would meet its hiring demands for new launch sites and existing operations. By partnering with Proactive Global, TGW gained the expertise and manpower necessary to navigate its growth efficiently, ensuring that every hire met its high-quality standards.
The Solution
To provide a quick and efficient recruitment solution that would help TGW scale its operations while maintaining its high hiring standards, we placed eight highly qualified candidates within the first two months, significantly exceeding TGW’s expectations. This enabled TGW to fill critical roles for their new launch sites and support their established locations, ensuring they could meet project deadlines and maintain smooth operations. We improved productivity, allowing TGW to accelerate its expansion and launch new sites on time. Our team's ability to fill positions quickly contributed to TGW’s capability to take on and execute new contracts, enabling them to continue their growth trajectory. Additionally, the partnership strengthened TGW’s trust in Proactive Global as a strategic partner, paving the way for continued collaboration as they scale further.
