Case Study: Smurfit Kappa doubles applicant volume and improves maintenance hiring with FactoryFix

How Smurfit Kappa Transformed Maintenance Hiring with FactoryFix

Smurfit Kappa, a global leader in paper-based packaging, faced significant challenges in recruiting qualified maintenance professionals for its manufacturing facilities. Despite using its existing applicant tracking system and major job boards, the company was struggling to find enough skilled mechanics and technicians. To address this, they turned to the vendor FactoryFix and its specialized recruiting platform.

By implementing FactoryFix, Smurfit Kappa gained access to a wider talent pool and benefited from the platform's AI-powered candidate matching. This solution quickly identified engaged and qualified applicants, leading to the hiring of two maintenance technicians with a third offer pending. The measurable results included a doubling of applicant volume and substantial time savings for the HR team, allowing them to adopt a more strategic approach to hiring.
