How PEAK Built a Multi-Tiered Staffing Program for a Global Electronics Manufacturer

After decades of experience in cloud computing, mobile devices, IoT, and Big Data, a global electronics manufacturer and technological solution provider invested heavily in AI, semiconductors, and next-generation communications technology. Those investments paid off, to the tune of nearly $6 trillion.

Following on this success, the client looked to open several electronics manufacturing sites across the U.S. This expansion plan required an array of contingent and permanent light industrial, technical, and engineering talent.  These complex staffing needs prompted the client to seek out PEAK. Since the start of that engagement in 2021, we’ve placed workers in over 125 roles, and our partnership continues to this day.

Challenge: Technical & Engineering Talent Acquistion in U.S. Markets

Despite this manufacturer’s global success, a perfect storm of factors made staffing top-tier light industrial, technical, and engineering talent in the U.S. a challenge:

  • Multiple role types, including contingent and direct hire positions ranging across all levels, including light industrial, technical and engineering roles
  • Unfamiliarity with U.S. labor markets and their unique dynamics
  • Need for specific, technical, and in many cases niche, expertise that can be hard to source and place
  • A historically tight labor market that exacerbated all the factors listed above

Sourcing the talent needed to support their expansion plan required more than a copy-and-paste approach. As such, PEAK worked to build an adaptive staffing solution that could meet talent demands at all levels while maintaining cost effectiveness.

PEAK’s Strategic Solution: Multi-Tiered Total Staffing Solution

PEAK quickly tailored a custom staffing solution that addressed the client’s staff augmentation needs and their manufacturing demands across multiple US locations.

Trust, rapport, and open communication were central to PEAK’s approach. Naturally, PEAK leveraged our deep talent networks and trust-based relationships to quickly find and place talent. But we also worked to stay aligned with the organization’s goals, responsive to their needs, and consistent in our delivery.

PEAK’s strategic staffing services included the following components:

  • End-to-end orchestration through a dedicated account manager and continuous, open communication with both corporate HR and individual facility teams
  • Structured hiring process for submittals, interviews, and onboarding, based on PEAK’s proven success
  • Comprehensive analysis of job requirements, adapting the hiring process to each position and level
  • Leveraging PEAK’s extensive network of talent built over decades of operation
  • Providing a dedicated VMS tool to manage suppliers, contingent labor, invoicing, and spend
  • Ongoing evaluation and process optimization based on real-time data and insights, combined with a foundation of knowledge capital built over decades

Impact & Outcomes: 120+ Placements & Ongoing Expansion

Since 2021, PEAK has placed 120+ contingent and direct hire placements for this client, enabling seamless organizational coordination and workforce agility amid a challenging market.

In fact, PEAK’s solution has so strongly met the client’s strategic needs that five years later, both organizations are pursuing an ambitious expansion plan, supporting both parties’ critical strategic goals.

Conclusion: How Total Staffing Solutions Meet Complex Market Demands

The U.S. labor market is growing more complex. As a result, staffing effectiveness, both now and in the future, requires customized, multi-tiered strategies to fill roles on time, avoid costly delays, and quickly capitalize on opportunities.

By partnering with PEAK, our client maintained consistent talent delivery at all levels, leveraging our deep industry expertise, advanced technology, and trust-based relationships to maximize the return on their strategic U.S. investments.
