Industry: Metal Slitting & Stamping – Automotive
Location: Metro Detroit
Challenge: High turnover and unfilled roles in critical production areas with no agency able to catch up hiring
The Situation
A key supplier to the automotive i dustry was facing relentless turnover and couldn’t keep up with hiring demands. They were critically short on operators, crane operators, press operators, and general labor—and despite working with other agencies, no one could close the gap. Morale and production timelines were suffering, and customer expectations were at risk.
