IFA Group is a rapidly growing Tier 1 automotive supplier of drive shafts. They were preparing for a ramp-up of a new product group and needed a larger workforce to keep up with demand. IFA reached out to HTI to establish a recruitment partnership, wherein HTI developed a strategy to stabilize their growing hourly needs. During the project, IFA’s initial hiring needs doubled. As a flexible partner, we pivoted to a more robust recruitment plan.

Project goals
