Recruitment for Renewable Energy Projects:
Regional RPO Services in Latin America
The case study highlights delivering tailored RPO services in a complex and geographically diverse region. By providing a flexible recruitment structure, leveraging regional expertise, and embedding recruiters within the client’s facilities, PRODENSA significantly improved the client’s hiring outcomes for their renewable energy projects.
Overview
A global renewable energy company originating from Western Europe needed to quickly ramp up recruitment for various maintenance and new wind farm projects across multiple locations in Latin America. Due to the non‑recurring nature of these projects and the geographical diversity, the CLIENT required a flexible and experienced recruitment team that could operate regionally and adapt to varying local practices. To meet these needs, the CLIENT engaged PRODENSA to provide Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) services, enabling them to attract and hire the necessary talent efficiently and fast.
Project Stages
Kick‑Off Stage: CLIENT Needs Discovery
PRODENSA began the project by conducting an in‑depth discovery phase to understand the CLIENT’s specific needs. This stage involved identifying the skill sets required for the maintenance and wind farm projects, understanding the local labor markets in various Latin American countries, and defining the scope of recruitment activities needed to support the CLIENT’s goals.
Execution Recruitment Stage
Once the needs were clearly defined, PRODENSA executed a tailored recruitment strategy. Experienced recruiters were deployed across multiple zones in Latin America, ensuring that the recruitment process was adapted to the local practices and conditions of each country. PRODENSA’s team worked closely within the CLIENT’s facilities to enhance communication, streamline the hiring process, and respond rapidly to the CLIENT’s recruitment demands.
Challenges & Solutions
- Understanding Local Practices: The CLIENT’s operations spanned multiple Latin American countries, each with its own unique labor market practices and regulations.
- Solution: PRODENSA leveraged its regional expertise to customize the recruitment strategy for each country, ensuring compliance with local laws and alignment with local hiring practices.
- Speed of Recruitment: The CLIENT needed to fill positions quickly to keep pace with the demands of their new projects.
- Solution: PRODENSA’s recruiters, embedded within the CLIENT’s facilities, facilitated faster decision‑making and hiring processes. The close collaboration and communication between PRODENSA’s team and the CLIENT’s management significantly reduced the time to fill (TTF) for each position.
Project Outcome
PRODENSA’s flexible and scalable RPO solution resulted in a significant reduction in the CLIENT’s TTF rate, from an original average of 30‑35 business days per position to 20‑25 business days. The CLIENT was highly satisfied with the effectiveness of the recruitment process, leading them to directly hire the full recruitment team from PRODENSA to continue supporting their operations.
