Executive Summary
Corporate recruiter for an aerospace structures manufacturer with 2,100 employees. Seven years recruiting skilled trades and manufacturing engineering. Fills machinist, assembler, quality inspector and tooling roles in a market where three other plants want the same people, and keeps the applicant records the company owes as a federal contractor.
Signature Achievements
- Filled 148 positions last year across production, quality and engineering with an average time to fill of 27 days against a target of 40.
- Built the apprenticeship pipeline with two community colleges that now supplies about 20 entry machinists a year at a starting wage the plant can defend.
- Cut the offer decline rate from 22 percent to 8 percent by pricing offers against local shop rates before they went out rather than after a candidate pushed back.
- Replaced the phone screen with a short bench test for machinist candidates, which took the ninety day washout rate from 31 percent to 12 percent.
- Kept applicant flow and disposition records clean enough that the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs desk audit closed with no data requests beyond the first submission.
- Ran the hiring for a second shift stand up, filling 62 roles in eleven weeks without pulling people off the first shift line.
