The Challenge
Pailton Engineering faced a critical challenge when their recruitment sole supplier failed to deliver on any of their vacancies, leaving their CNC machines idle despite an order book fully booked 18 months in advance. This situation resulted in significant losses in both time and revenue. To overcome this, Pailton urgently needed a recruitment partner who could focus on their CNC Machinist vacancies and provide highly skilled candidates to get their operations back on track.

Our established connections within the talent market allowed us to quickly engage with both active and passive candidates, delivering the speed Pailton urgently needed.

We maintained open and honest communication throughout the recruitment process, keeping Pailton informed and involved at every stage. This approach helped alleviate pressure on their team and provided peace of mind that the task was being handled effectively.
Result
