Despite the globally difficult period, many companies in different sectors have resumed their activities at a great pace and as a result they often need to recruit a new Plant Manager.

Whatever the size of the company, he or she is a key resource because he or she presides over and organises the day-to-day operations of the company’s production facilities, ensuring their optimal and efficient functioning.

First of all: what does a Plant Manager do?

He/she looks after the workers, assigning functions and roles, defining working hours and production, training new recruits. He collects and analyses production data in order to find possible areas for improvement; he takes care of worker safety and plant safety; he monitors production equipment and, if necessary, repairs or replaces it.

So: how do you look for a good Plant Manager?

The only solution is direct hunting, pure headhunting: you call the target company with a pretext, you pass on the figure in question and only when we have the contact we are interested in on the phone do we reveal the real reason for our call.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that headhunting is a practice used only to look for executives or managers! For example, at Ricercamy we have gained solid experience in the hunting of profiles that work in production and on machinery: from the melting furnace operator to the assembly line operator up to figures of greater responsibility.

Of course, these are very delicate operations, especially because you have to “take” from an office a man who is working there! Therefore, these calls must be handled with competence, discretion and professionalism, so it is necessary to rely on those who, like Ricercamy, do it for a living! By relying on us you will have several advantages: maintaining anonymity with respect to the needs of your brand, having information retrieved here and now and not from old databases that can not be updated at the time and especially use your time for other emergencies as Head Hunting is an extremely time consuming activity.

From a commercial point of view, the rules of engagement between Ricercamy and its Clients have also changed! No more paying exaggerated fees, lump sums or “tokens” for each placement made in the company! With our SMART rate you only pay for the hours that are actually used for your specific selection. So not only will you have a fixed and certain initial cost, but compared to a traditional approach, your fees will average between 5 and 8% of your RAL!
