The situation
Oy Sisu Auto Ab is a Finnish vehicle factory founded in 1931. The factory in Karjaa builds vehicles designed for demanding civilian and military use, and its production processes call for precise quality awareness and a reliable workforce.
The challenge
Manufacturing defence vehicles calls for professionals whose backgrounds and reliability are checked with particular care. The fast pace of production and a large order book mean the right candidates have to be found quickly, and quality cannot be compromised in recruitment.
The solution
Wellpack has worked closely with Sisu Auto, providing flexible staffing solutions for production professionals and office staff alike. One contact person coordinates the process, and workers' backgrounds are checked before the shift starts.
“Working with Wellpack runs smoothly. Their understanding of our needs and our operating environment has been strong from the start. The work is agile, and the way they look into our situations on their own initiative has made our own work much easier.”
The process
- 01
Active contact and follow-up of the work made it possible to react quickly to changing recruitment needs.
- 02
Close co-operation made sure that workers' backgrounds and reliability were checked carefully, as the defence industry requires.
- 03
The agency work period served as an entry into a long-term employment relationship, and a significant number of professionals moved into permanent roles through Wellpack.
