A law firm with 6 employees could not find needed employees. They used a local temp service and several recruiting firms with fees from 10% to 20%. They were desperate to get 2 more employees and were having trouble. The jobs were open for 3 weeks.
OEM discovered in an assessment that:
1. The current recruiting firms they were using were very expensive, over promising and not getting results
2. They had not prepared job descriptions or advertising that made the client company highlight its advantages
3. Turnover was an issue due to the overselling of the position to the employees coming in
4. They had a limited orientation plan
5. They wanted two full time employees (FTEs)
OEM involved OEM ProStaffing and they suggested:
1. They use a temp to perm approach for the Full Time Employee (FTE)
2. They modify their employee identification plan and pool of employees
3. They modify their job description drastically
4. Use an "onboarding" approach
5. They did not need 2 FTEs. After an OEM study, they could cover the jobs completely with one full time and one part time employee of 18 hours only
OEM's ProStaffing filled the temp to perm order the next day at 25% less than the incumbent. By discovering the client would be overstaffed with 2 FTEs OEM ProStaffing was able saved the client money with a staff size that is more suitable for them. They gave them a new "onboarding" process and a much better pulling ad. The client saved over $10,000 from projected costs.
