A global leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical systems and components for semiconductor capital equipment, The Client provides complex solutions for high technology industries. Facing increased production demands and hiring challenges at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, they needed a partner to develop a greater recruiting presence within their local markets to create a pipeline of contingent labor due to new talent demands. In addition to sourcing and recruiting responsibilities, our team was tasked with converting 170 contractors to Acara’s payroll within 45 days.

One of the largest semiconductor companies in the world with over $38 billion in annual revenue, The Client maintains more than 51,000 employees globally. They needed to hire qualified engineers within a three-month window to work in a new, multi-billion dollar production center. New hires would be required to complete an immersive two-year training program in Taiwan before returning to the United States.

Businesses never want to make a bad hire. Hiring an employee that isn’t a long-term fit for your organization is counterproductive to your overall success. Not only can time spent on functions like screening, recruiting, and interviewing add up in a hurry, but onboarding and training costs bring additional—and unnecessary—costs into the fold.
