Hays, the world’s largest specialist recruiter, has been appointed by Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, in scouring the globe to find the best talent for its production plants worldwide.
The appointment of Hays was an integral part of Prysmian Group’s ‘Make It’ campaign, aimed at finding process, maintenance, design and quality engineers, as well as other technical specialists, for the Groups production plants globally. ‘Make It’ offers successful applicants the opportunity to develop their skills through top training delivered at Prysmian’s Group Academy.
Hays processed and analysed over 6,000 applications, screening all direct applicants as well as also sourcing highly skilled candidates suitable for the roles. This year’s campaign follows the extremely popular 2016 “Make It” campaign, which recruited highly skilled professionals across 19 countries.
Martin Dixon, Corporate Accounts Director – EMEA, says, “We’re delighted to have been reappointed by Prysmian after a very successful first ‘Make It’ project in 2016. Delivering a complex project in 20 countries at once was not without its challenges especially given the scarcity of the engineering talent Prysmian required. Hays demonstrated the ability to deliver a consistent solution and to help not just with recruitment but also in refining the candidate experience across Prysmian’s business.
Dixon continued, “Helping candidates to discover this world class programme at Prysmian was a challenge Hays were delighted to meet. Prysmian has invested in creating a world class program. Hays is proud to have been a vital part in its success, and look forward to the 2017 edition.”
Fabrizio Rutschmann, HR SVP Prysmian Group, “Highly skilled candidates are difficult to source and as a result we rely on Hays’ global network to source these scarce resources. Once employed, we take care of the development of our people with continuous programs , tools and initiatives run through our Group Academy.”
