V.D. Hoek Isolatie Groep found experienced estimators hard to find. With interim recruitment, not one but two joined in three months.

Industry

V.D. Hoek Isolatie Groep employs both unskilled and experienced insulation technicians. When the unskilled group proved hard to train, the company went looking for old hands, and they were hard to find. With a modern, fresh approach to recruitment, V.D. Hoek Isolatie Groep still expanded its team with experienced estimators: it was looking for one and even got two.

The challenge

As an insulation company, you can work with unskilled people. Many unskilled insulation workers come from Eastern Europe, for example. Even so, V.D. Hoek Isolatie Groep found that it prefers high-quality staff with experience, because unskilled staff often lack the right work attitude.

You can see that in the in-house training: only 1 in 20 unskilled workers passes it. The unskilled group therefore proved hard to train, and the company went looking for old hands. But experienced insulation technicians are not that easy to find.

The approach

Interim recruitment

To find estimators, interim recruitment proved a successful tactic. This target group was very active on LinkedIn and on various job boards, exactly the places the recruiters scoured. Candidates who responded were called quickly, and it is precisely that speed that makes this tactic so strong.

Time back for the in-house team

By handing over recruitment work such as searching for candidates online and calling them, V.D. Hoek Isolatie Groep saved a lot of time. And every candidate was guaranteed a quick follow-up.

The result

Two new estimators in three months, at a cost per new employee of €4,800. The search delivered five suitable candidates, and where the company was looking for one, it ended up with two.

That is how V.D. Hoek Isolatie Groep proved how powerful interim recruitment can be.

At V.D. Hoek Isolatie Groep, interim recruitment made the difference.
