Case Study: Saint Gobain achieves higher-quality direct hires with WorkStep

Single hiring platform for all openings yields magic results

Saint Gobain, a global leader in building materials with more than 180,000 employees worldwide, needed a better way to recruit candidates for production and manufacturing roles such as assemblers, welders, and CNC machine operators. At its initial facilities, the team relied on multiple temp staffing agencies, but volume, quality, and costs were inconsistent.

WorkStep provided a single hiring platform that connected Saint Gobain to its candidate network for direct-hire roles, improving match quality and simplifying communication and follow-up. As a result, the partnership delivered about 5 direct hires per month per facility at the outset, eliminated the need for new temps to meet production schedules, and sourced 90% of non-exempt hires at initial partner facilities through WorkStep.
