Three of our Adecco’s manufacturing clients faced different, but equally difficult staffing challenges.

One needed niche skilled trades roles filled quickly for multiple sites.

Another’s internal recruiting team struggled to find qualified talent across several states.

The third operated in a remote, low paying market with persistent fulfillment gaps.

To support them, we leveraged PDS Tech – our skilled trades and engineering division at Adecco. Combining scale with technical recruiting expertise, they provide robust talent pipelines, delivering quality candidates and consistent coverage.

5 niche roles delivered expeditiously

For a leading automotive technology supplier, we closed skill gaps by filling specialized roles including welders and die makers, at five locations.  Time to fill was accelerated through hands-on sourcing and expert skilled trades recruiting.

10 hard-to-fill hires across 3 states 

A global leader in filtration solutions couldn’t attract skilled trades talent across California, Florida, and North Carolina, so we leveraged PDS Tech’s specialized recruitment team to fill 10 facilities technician roles.

20 skilled trades positions filled

Exceeding expectations for our automotive supplier client, we delivered 20 skilled trades hires in a remote, unionized market. Our performance resulted in expanding PDS Tech support to an additional location.
