When you’re good at what you do, you attract more business. Operating with excellence has this side effect, even more so when you are a specialist. How do you scale your business with the ebb and flow of opportunities, ensure contract workforce requirements are met within time frame so that works are completed on site to the highest standards?
Here’s a story of a family run contracting business based in the far north West of WA. Every day, they worked with the clients providing specialist mechanical and fabrication services. One day through their hard work they landed a massive contract to supply services to a large mining operator.
What an amazing opportunity you would think. With every opportunity to grow or scale your business, needs to be well managed for the short-term and long-term or the consequences could be devastating.
To fulfill this contract, this business required to double the size of their shutdown crew. They required the crew to be site inducted, skilled and available to mobilise to site within a short period. This was a daunting task as they where already overstretched internally. While they know their business best and the needs and demands of their client, contingent recruitment and all the administration that goes with it, isn’t what they do best.
Due to the tight time frame and limited internal resources this was going to be an issue. They knew they needed help so they could stay focused on the work at hand for their clients.
They needed a cost-effective way to supplement and compliment their existing strategies.
Having credibility and reliability for providing contingent workforces to most major mine sites in WA, we have a solid understanding of all the requirements their new client needed (including induction processes, tickets, onboarding requirements etc).
When you need to expand your workforce to meet client demands for short or long-term projects, it is important to find an agency that supports, supplements and/or compliments the strategies you have in place. You should be looking for an agency that you see as a partner.
Because we work in partnership with their internal team, we were able to provide the skilled trades for the shutdown in a safe, reliable, agile and cost-effective manner. The client’s contract was fulfilled. We worked seamlessly with them to ensure their success and the success of their clients.
You can scale and grow your business if you work with the right partners who understand your industry and the ebb and flow of contract work. This allows you to focus on what you do best. The lesson here is to work with agencies that value relationships, not transactions, you get a partnership that is focused on the end customer.
