Case Study: Leading US Brewing Company builds a stronger craft worker pipeline with AgileOne

Leading US brewing company saves over $3 million and streamlines recruitment processes for over 1,200 direct hires

Leading US Brewing Company, a major U.S. brewer with 10,000+ employees across 13 manufacturing locations, faced an ongoing workforce challenge as retirements and normal attrition threatened to create critical skill gaps in specialized craft worker roles. To address the need for a steady pipeline of qualified talent, the company partnered with AgileOne and its AllSourceRPO recruitment process outsourcing service.

AgileOne implemented aggressive recruiting and streamlined onboarding to source specialized candidates through LinkedIn groups, military transition programs, outplacement job fairs, and outreach to manufacturing plants facing closures. The program consistently delivered at least a 3:1 ratio of qualified candidates to openings, met or exceeded the company’s 40-day time-to-fill SLA, improved diversity among production workers, and achieved strong retention with many hires later promoted internally.
