CPH2 Transforms Their Talent Acquisition for Green Hydrogen

CPH2, a leader in the Green Hydrogen industry, faced significant challenges in attracting top talent for their technical and niche engineering roles. Learn how a strategic partnership transformed their recruitment process, leading to remarkable improvements in efficiency and quality of hires. 

The Challenge 

CPH2 struggled to find and hire qualified candidates for their specialised engineering positions, particularly in their efforts to expand their engineering, Technical and Commissioning team. The key obstacles were: 

• Lack of quality candidates for technical and niche engineering positions 
• Time-consuming and inefficient recruitment process 
• Heavy burden of managing multiple poor agencies 
• Sifting through hundreds of unsuitable direct applications 
• Interviewing unsuitable candidates

“The benefits of having one trusted partner are huge, it saves us the time and burden of trying to manage multiple recruitment partners or sift through multiple applications. The value of Eleven’s RPO service has been great from a speed and quality perspective, allowing me to add value elsewhere as a HR professional – thank you for all your support!” Mandy Cressey, HR, CPH2
