The challenge

The hiring process was collapsing across plants.

Peak production season brought hundreds of applications per role — and a recruitment process that simply could not scale across multiple locations without breaking.

⚠️What was breaking
400–700 resumes per role reviewed manually by overwhelmed recruiters
18–25 days to create a usable shortlist — too slow for peak season
High walk-in absenteeism with no pre-screening to filter serious candidates
Recruiter overload during peak hiring months stretched the team thin
Different hiring standards applied across plants led to inconsistent quality
What Hansa changed
Sourced candidates from all platforms simultaneously — no manual job board management
ACE score ranked every applicant automatically before any recruiter logged in
AI voice pre-screened top candidates for availability, shift fit, and interest
Automated nudges and reminders reduced no-shows before interview day
One unified dashboard standardised hiring standards across all locations
The process

How hiring actually happened

📋
Step 01

25 roles went live across plants simultaneously

JDs were parsed automatically. Hansa sourced technician candidates from all hiring channels — LinkedIn, Naukri, and Indeed — while filtering based on each plant's location requirements.

Managing hiring across plants was a nightmare — different recruiters, different standards, different outcomes. Hansa gave us one system. Our team just reviews the shortlist now.
