Challenge
A manufacturing company had been struggling for some time with a shortage of qualified candidates in the local labor market. Increasing customer demand and the need to maintain continuous production required a rapid expansion of the workforce, but the company’s own recruitment efforts failed to deliver the expected results.
The client turned to EST-Polska for assistance in recruiting international workers and managing the entire employment process—from recruitment and work authorization to onboarding new employees. The company wanted its new workforce to begin work as quickly as possible while minimizing the administrative burden on its internal HR team.
Our actions
After carefully analyzing the client’s needs, we developed a recruitment strategy tailored to the company’s operations and staffing requirements. We defined the ideal candidate profile, created an employment schedule, and planned the onboarding process to ensure a smooth workforce expansion without disrupting ongoing production.
Recruitment was carried out through our international candidate network and trusted recruitment partners. Every candidate was carefully screened for relevant experience, motivation, and readiness to relocate and begin employment in Poland.
We also took full responsibility for employment legalization, preparing all required documentation, organizing employee travel, and coordinating the onboarding process. Throughout the project, we maintained close communication with both the client and the newly hired employees.
Results
Thanks to an efficient recruitment and employment legalization process, the client quickly filled staffing gaps and secured a stable workforce for its production operations. This enabled the company to increase production capacity and fulfil customer orders on schedule.
Key results:
- successful recruitment and employment of international workers
- complete work and residence legalization for all recruited employees
- fast onboarding of new employees into the production process
- staffing shortages resolved without involving the client’s internal HR department
- continuous production and on-time order fulfilment
- ability to further expand the workforce as the business continues to grow.
