Saran Cliff Marketing & Recruitment Manager Aktrion Group

Case study

Aktrion Group is an international business and manufacturing support service provider that, on a contract outsourced basis, helps its clients improve performance and maximise flexibility in diverse service sectors.

The company started in its largest sectors of automotive and print and expanded into food, logistics and transport. As part of its apprenticeship programme, Aktrion Group places young learners with some of the world’s best manufacturers.

The challenge

Marketing and Recruitment Manager Saran Cliff explains how the severe skills shortage within the UK – particularly the automotive sector – presents a two-fold recruitment challenge.

“With a new Automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) opening in the UK, for example, the shortage of automotive quality personnel has become more apparent, and we specialise in the supply of those candidates.”

Saran explains that it became evident two years ago that simply posting a job advert and hoping the right candidate would apply would not always work. They needed to rethink their recruiting methods. “To supply our clients with excellent candidates quickly and effectively, we would need to follow a talent acquisition rather than a recruitment model.”

Meeting the challenge

During the past 12 months, Aktrion Group has extended its package to include Jobsite’s CV Watchdogs and search facilities, and this has brought positive results almost instantly.

“The applications we received from the CV searches were more relevant, and we also like the fact that our ads feature on a number of associated job boards. For example, if we’re putting up a job advert for an Automotive Quality Engineer, we know that Jobsite will automatically post it on other relevant automotive pages.”

Aktrion Group began using these tools not only to target potential candidates for certain roles but also to add them to an overall talent pool in case the right opportunity arose in the future. This helps them to find jobseekers who match skill-set requirements as soon as they upload their CV to Jobsite.
