Alliance Recruitment Agency offered on-time recruitment solutions and met all the permanent and temporary staffing of the company.

5. Finance and accounting staff

Challenges

The major challenges were the following:

• The locations were not near any bigger towns or cities and did not attract talent easily.
• For meeting staffing needs, 80% of the talent could only be sourced from other states. The weather conditions of the locations were unpredictable, prone to storms and periodic flooding, and this factor further impacted talent attraction possibilities.
• The hiring program also faced time constraints – the employer wanted to get all new staff on duty within 3-4 months.
