&ldquo;VHR has worked alongside our F1 team for 10 years, assisting greatly in relation to technical resourcing for our business.

HR & Legal Director 

A global Automotive brand was embarking on a full scale production of its new car model with the aim of selling 90,000 units in year 1. Subcontractor firms were challenged with bringing in a Contract-Based Labour Force to work under their supervision and fulfil the project.

The Situation

VHR delivered multiple UK wide recruitment campaigns identifying key skillsets required for the projects. VHR recruited and deployed experienced Automotive Specialists ranging from Auto Mechanics, Auto Electricians, Mechanical Fitters, Interior Trimmers, Engine Fitters, Smart Repairers, Coach Builders, Painters, Quality Inspectors and Test Technicians

The Solution

<ul>
<li>Successful Launch: The new car model enjoyed a successful launch. VHR's UK recruitment campaigns helped both subcontractor firms to deliver against the Automotive brand's stringent time schedules.</li>
<li>325 Contractors: Since 2011, VHR have provided 325 contractors to the Automotive manufacturing programme and wider car brands.</li>
<li>Long Term Partnership: VHR continue to provide contractors to carry out rectification and retrofit work at OEM's all over the world.</li>
</ul>

Technicians Sourced

The Outcome

Unprecedented Automotive Expansion

VHR have recruited over 600 Technicians over a 10-year partnership with a European F1 Racing team. 

HR & Legal Director

FIA rule changes forced a European Formula One team into producing their own car in terms of Design and Buil. They were left with two choices:
<ul>
<li>Cease their operation or fall away from F1 altogether.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Under tight timescales, VHR sourced a large volume of exceptionally skilled Technicians in just 1 week, all of whom met client requirements.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

The Formula One team chose to push for the F1 grid, and with VHR began planning how to staff an enitre design team, a wind tunnel operation and a hugely increased in-house machining and laminating production capability.&nbsp;
VHR's On-site Coordinator assisted the European F1 team with the managing site staff and candidates directly.&nbsp;

The Solution 

<ul>
<li>11-year partnership - VHR still work with the Formula One team to recruit all Technical staff.&nbsp;</li>
<li>600 contracts placed - High volume of resources provided over 10 years.&nbsp;</li>
<li>In 2019, VHR had 100 contract staff on-site in Italy and 25 on-site in the UK.</li>
</ul>

Contracts placed

Formula One Recruitment Project

Our automotive client announced their return to world class endurance racing.
They had one clear aim, to be the first car of their kind to enter the WEC. After their swift departure from open-wheel single-seater formula racing, they required an aggressive recruitment campaign in both engineering and production based in Germany.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

VHR identified and recruited a full team of design engineers with specialist experience.
Industry specialists were recruited by VHR for the build period, this included Composite Technicians, CNC Machinists, Model Makers and Motorsport Fabricators.
Regular on-site and off-site co-ordination took place.

Our client won 3 of the 6 races they entered in that year.
Their racing team finished in 2nd place in one of the worlds greatest sports car races, then further became world champions the next year.
Our partnership has resulted in over 85 permanent and contract staff being placed and multiple additional projects over the years.

Building a WEC Capability

VHR swiftly mobilises skilled engineers to ensure a major automotive launch, exceeding expectations and securing future partnerships

&ldquo;For my first job in Europe as an Automotive Engineer, I received all the support and assistance from my recruitment consultant. Every time I encountered an issue, whether about my job situation or accommodation in the new place, I could rely on them. For those people about to start a business relationship with VHR, have all the faith in them&ndash; they won&rsquo;t let you down.&rdquo;

Europe

Design Engineer

One of the largest Automotive manufacturers in the world chose VHR to support their latest car model launch. The Automotive brand needed to meet an August 2018 deadline to launch their new car model; they were lacking a large volume of skilled engineers across their supply chain, and if they missed the deadline, they would not be allowed to take the car to market. The Automotive brand is a billion pound turnover business, so this new product launch and its sales were crucial to long-term business success.
The Automotive brand were looking for skilled and semi-skilled Composite Technicians to work with five suppliers. VHR had an existing pool of candidates with the right background, and planned to conduct several recruitment trips to interview our existing candidate networks and identify further talent pools.

VHR conducted the first recruitment trip in Europe in 2018, interviewing 50 Laminators, Finishers and CNC Operators in two days. Our team arranged interviews, found locations, organised all logistics for candidates and personally conducted all 50 interviews.&nbsp;
VHR&rsquo;s ethos of going the extra mile generated further interviews via referrals of the candidates who enjoyed working with us. Our team conducted a second trip with all referred candidates in addition to new candidates sourced through our own research, social media channels and networks.

<ul>
<li style="text-indent: -18pt;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;VHR placed over 100 contractors across the five supplier businesses, including 45 at one supplier. </li>
<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -18pt;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Because VHR personally met, qualified and stringently assessed all candidates against requirements, the vast majority of contractors stayed with suppliers for their full contract, and candidate satisfaction was high throughout the project. </li>
<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -18pt;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;VHR&rsquo;s partnership with the Automotive brand was so productive that two of the five suppliers surpassed both deadlines and volume requirements, and still had roll cages in stock after the project was complete. </li>
<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -18pt;">&nbsp; &nbsp; VHR&rsquo;s recruitment drive ensured all suppliers had the right number of parts and a full skilled team, enabling them to meet their&nbsp; project deadline, avoid a fine and release the car model on time.&nbsp; &nbsp; The Automotive brand were so impressed with VHR&rsquo;s speed of project delivery that the five suppliers received more work from them.</li>
</ul>
