From Vacancy to Value: Manpower's Role in Yamari Singapore's Recruitment Success
Yamari Singapore's partnership with Manpower was a game-changer for their recruitment efforts. Manpower's expertise in the industry, deep understanding of client needs, and focus on candidate experience allowed Yamari Singapore to fill vacancies efficiently and find top talent.
Yamari Singapore understands that having roles open for extended periods of time will slow the business down. Hence, the global leader in temperature sensor technology seeks to fill its open vacancies promptly and with the right talent through strengthening its employer brand to attract top talent.
The Japanese integrated sensor manufacturer knows that partnering with permanent recruitment agencies like Manpower is the way to go when it comes to improving time-to-hire and enhancing candidate experience.
Yamari Singapore's permanent recruitment partnership with Manpower
Yamari Singapore needed to quickly hire a BOM Engineer – a crucial role in the manufacturing process that lists the parts and materials required to build temperature sensors. The company needed someone with expertise in managing operational costs by reducing waste and streamlining the production process without compromising product quality.
Its initial recruitment efforts, both in-house and through engaging external permanent staffing partners did not bear fruit due to challenges such as a niche industry and role, non-central working location and mismatched salary expectations.
After partnering with Manpower for permanent staffing services, the BOM Engineer position was filled within a week, with subsequent roles, including a Sales Admin position and Assistant Manager for Purchasing, were also filled efficiently within a month of the partnership.
On the partnership, Yamari Singapore’s HR spokesperson said:
"Manpower's recruitment consultant's exceptional skills and proactive approach in identifying and securing high-caliber candidates have significantly benefited our organization."
The human touch: Key factors of permanent recruitment success
Key success factors of the permanent recruitment partnership were a deep understanding of the company and industry, customized recruitment strategies, a focus on candidate experience, and effective communication.
Upon entering the partnership, Manpower’s recruitment consultant sought to understand Yamari Singapore’s pain points and challenges, as well as arranged for a site visit to gain deeper insight into the company’s business nature, operational needs and culture.
Through this, the recruiter was able to customize their approach to meet Yamari Singapore's specific needs to ensure the partnership's success, such as:
Tailoring the job descriptions to accurately reflect Yamari Singapore's culture and requirements.
Using targeted sourcing strategies to reach out to candidates with the right skills and experience.
Providing candidates with detailed information about Yamari Singapore to help them make informed decisions.
For example, to position Yamari Singapore as an employer of choice and attract top talent, while communicating with candidates, the consultant emphasized the respectful and friendly company culture, as well as the positive work environment where colleagues enjoy the work they do. Knowing that Yamari Industries was established in 1955, a focus was also placed on the company's stability and good reputation in the industry.
Being forward-looking, Manpower’s recruitment consultants understand that employee retention rates are linked to a business’ operational efficiency— and good retention starts with good hiring. To that end, consultants strive to ensure for every permanent placement they make, the candidate is a good match for the company and vice versa.
To ensure candidates are matched with a job that meets their needs, and as a result are more likely to stay with the company, Manpower’s consultants take the time to understand candidates' career aspirations and work preferences to place them in roles that align with their goals.
At the same time, Manpower consultants conduct thorough interviews and assessments to identify if a candidate meets the company’s requirements based on skills, experience, and cultural fit. This proactive approach not only helps to improve employee retention but also contributes to the overall success and growth of the business.
“We deeply appreciate their commitment and the positive impact Manpower's recruitment consultant have had on our recruitment efforts. They consistently deliver candidates who closely match our expectations and demonstrate a relentless drive to meet our demands. Moreover, the consultant's vibrant and energetic personality makes working with them both enjoyable and comfortable," said Yamari Singapore’s HR spokesperson.
