Client Overview

Nordic Lifts is a leading provider of lift installation, maintenance and servicing solutions across the UK. As a rapidly growing company, they required a steady influx of skilled engineers to meet increasing demand while minimising recruitment costs and administrative burden.

The Challenge

Nordic Lifts needed to hire approximately six engineers per year. Traditional recruitment methods involved engaging with multiple recruitment agencies, leading to high costs, inconsistent candidate quality and significant time spent coordinating with different suppliers. The company sought a more streamlined and cost-effective solution to ensure a reliable talent pipeline.

The Solution

A Subscription-Based Recruitment Model.

To address Nordic Lifts' hiring challenges, we introduced a tailored subscription-based recruitment model. This innovative approach provided:

Fixed Monthly Costs: Instead of unpredictable per-hire fees, Nordic Lifts benefited from a predictable and manageable subscription cost.

Continuous Talent Pipeline: We proactively sourced, screened and maintained a pool of qualified engineers, ensuring vacancies were filled quickly.

Time Savings: Nordic Lifts' internal team spent less time managing multiple agencies and could focus on core business operations.

Quality Assurance: Our ongoing partnership meant we gained deep insights into Nordic Lifts' hiring needs and company culture, allowing us to source highly suitable candidates.

Implementation & Results

Seamless Transition: We worked closely with Nordic Lifts to transition from their traditional recruitment approach to our subscription model, ensuring minimal disruption.

Cost Reduction: By eliminating expensive per-placement fees and reducing time-to-hire, Nordic Lifts significantly lowered their overall recruitment spend.

Efficient Hiring: Over the past year, we successfully placed six engineers, meeting the company’s annual recruitment target with minimal effort required from their internal team.

Long-Term Partnership: The success of the subscription model has led to an ongoing partnership, securing Nordic Lifts’ workforce needs for the foreseeable future.

Conclusion

By shifting to our subscription-based recruitment service, Nordic Lifts has gained a cost-effective, time-saving and reliable hiring solution. This strategic approach not only ensures consistent access to top engineering talent but also enhances workforce planning and business efficiency. We look forward to continuing our partnership and helping Nordic Lifts achieve sustained growth with a steady supply of skilled professionals.
