A private equity–backed chemical manufacturing company needed to rapidly staff a start-up facility ahead of a critical operational launch. Timelines were tight, the stakes were high, and there was no internal capacity to manage the end-to-end recruiting effort. Leadership needed a partner who could move quickly, attract qualified talent, and ensure a smooth onboarding experience so the facility could become operational on schedule.
RGP stepped in to lead the hiring effort from strategy through execution—bringing structure, momentum, and on-the-ground support to a complex, time-sensitive workforce build.

Taking Recruiting On-Site to Get the Facility Operational
To accelerate results, RGP joined the client on site for several weeks—attending job fairs and community events to represent the company and attract talent. In close partnership with Human Resources, RGP also helped ensure a positive onboarding experience for new hires, supporting readiness and stability as the facility prepared to launch.
