Our client, ZF, is a leading Tier 1 automotive supplier for driveline and chassis technology. Their 1.4 million square foot facility expansion necessitated an expert to come alongside them for support. The initial scope was for 1,200 direct hire associates within a very tight window of time. However, due to the increasing demand for their product, the hiring plan quickly expanded to 2,100 full-time hires.
Project goals
- Conduct a direct-hire campaign to fill the expanding facility needs
- Alleviate hiring needs so our client can focus on their core competencies
Our solution
HTI integrated as an extension of ZF's Human Resources department and dedicated a team of expert recruiters to manage all of their external hiring. We also engaged our branch offices in the project due to the influx of applicant flow. To secure the best candidates at a volume to support the need, we implemented a robust marketing campaign through regular job fairs, targeting both hourly and skilled workers in times of peak demand. Local advertising and social media expanded the relationship between ourselves and our client. By the end of the ramp up, HTI was able to scale back and get support on an as-needed basis.

Whether it's a small expansion or a greenfield start-up HTI builds the processes and metrics to ensure a successful project.
