Jaguar Land Rover

Fast And Efficient

In 2005, Land Rover needed 20 auto electricians at their Solihull site for trim and final work on the new Range Rover models. Within three weeks we had the right people on site on an initial four-week contract.

Flexible

In 2007, Land Rover recommended us to their colleagues on the Jaguar site, and we were tasked with sourcing 19 multi-skilled maintenance engineers for robotics and PLC maintenance, body-in-white, trim and final, paint shop and press. We found and placed the required people on a project-led rolling contract that lasted a full 16 months. And when the XJ went into production in 2009, Jaguar asked them all to come back.

Cost Effective

Now, with our help, Jaguar Land Rover wants to try something completely new. The new Land Rover 405 and 494 models are being built at the Castle Bromwich site, and Land Rover needs more suitably skilled, permanent people available to work on the line. The plan is to train 20 new apprentices ‘on the job’ while using 25 of our contract workers to do preventative maintenance work until the apprentices are fully qualified. This novel approach could prove a more flexible, efficient and cost-effective way of getting their own people skilled up. If it succeeds, this model may be rolled out across the group.

"I have directly been involved with Shorterm over the last few years to bring in specialist skills at Castle Bromwich. I have found the level of service that they have provided is helpful, efficient and prompt. Nick has been quick, knowledgeable and professional in providing the calibre of people we have been looking for. Upon placement, Nick visits site on a regular basis to resolve any queries they either the individuals or JLR management may have. We have not had issue with the people provided to us by Shorterm. However, I am confident that should any concerns arise in the future that Nick and the Shorterm team will react to these promptly and provide us the high level of service that we have received to date."
