Jet Aviation’s overstretched HR department required additional support in the sourcing of various roles following a new contract win for the French Navy.
The roles, which were all permanent, included Purchasers, Mechanics, Logistic Agents, Sheet Metal Workers, Site Managers and a Planner and Account Manager.
The roles were required not only in France but also in the French territories of Polynesia and specifically New Caledonia and the island of Tahiti.
Although Carbon60 was used to sourcing talent to work in France, the additional locations added an extra layer of complexity as substantial time differences of up to 12 hours needed to be considered and navigated.
An additional and unforeseen challenge was the development of a worker strike in Tahiti. Uncertainty triggered by the previous supplier caused an increased workload and meant we needed to interview all existing workers, alongside external candidates whilst keeping the quality of hire at the forefront of our strategy.
Further legalities meant it difficult to make the hires within the short timeframe required and we experienced a pause in the process whilst issues were resolved.
