The Challenge
A global automotive OEM, setting up a new plant in a Tier 2 city, needed to scale its shopfloor workforce from 30 to 300 operators within just 45 days. The location had limited ready-to-deploy talent, and production timelines were tight.
Layamʼs Strategic Response
We activated our Hire-Train-Deploy model, built specifically for large-scale industrial expansions. Acting as an extension of their HR and plant operations team, we took complete ownership of staffing.
What We Did
- Mobilized talent from 3 nearby districts using community-level sourcing and regional field recruiters
- Conducted pre-assessments on shopfloor behaviour, technical aptitude, and physical readiness
- Set up a 7-day accelerated training bootcamp with mock drills, safety modules, and soft skills
- Provided accommodation and transport support to ensure a high joining ratio
- Deployed a dedicated onboarding team inside the client’s HR bay to handle last-mile execution
The Outcome
- 300 operators onboarded in 43 days—exceeding the original target
- Achieved over 92% attendance in the first month of production
- Pre-launch dry runs completed ahead of schedule
- Layam retained as a long-term staffing partner for Phase 2 expansion
