Challenges

The key challenge for the rubber industry was to find highly qualified Chemical Engineers with specialized knowledge of rubber formulations and processing techniques. The company wanted to rely solely on organic reach, avoiding costly paid promotions, while attracting candidates with the right mix of technical skills and industry experience. The goal of this company was not just to hire a candidate who fits the technical competency but also an individual who aligned with this company’s sustainability and innovation-driven culture.

Additionally, the recruitment team needed an efficient system to manage a large influx of applicants, ensuring that the best candidates were identified and processed swiftly to keep up with ongoing projects and production schedules.

When the rubber industry partnered with Redrob, our team designed a tailored strategy focused on driving organic traffic through targeted job postings. Using our Job Posting feature, we expanded this company’s reach across niche platforms which catered to the chemical engineering and materials science communities. This included posting on specialized forums, and career websites, and leveraging social media channels frequently used by professionals in the field.

To streamline the recruitment process, Redrob deployed advanced recruitment tools, including automated resume parsing, an ATS, and a Kanban Board to prioritize and manage candidate flow efficiently. This eliminated manual data entry, automatically organizing and ranking applications based on the desired technical and cultural fit for the company.

Additionally, using Redrob’s technical library of over 3500 assessment tests, we created a custom test focused on key competencies for the Chemical Engineer role. This included modules on polymer chemistry, material science, and industrial chemical processes specific to the rubber industry. Along with technical evaluations, we integrated our Psychometric Test to ensure the best cultural fit, helping the company find candidates who not only had the technical expertise but also aligned with their mission of innovation and sustainability.
