Talent Acquisition Strategy Kingspan Water and Energy

Kingspan Water & Energy Ltd. is part of the global Kingspan Group, a leader in high-performance insulation and building envelope solutions. With operations across Europe, the US, the Middle East, and Australia, Kingspan Water & Energy focuses on sustainable water and energy storage, treatment, and management.

 

The Challenge: No Internal Recruitment, 50+ Open Roles

 

  • Over 50 open roles across multiple departments

  • No dedicated recruitment team in place

  • Hiring was handled by an overstretched HR officer

  • Reliance on external agencies was driving up costs

  • Hiring managers lacked structured support and data insights

 

Kingspan needed a scalable, embedded talent acquisition strategy that could deliver fast, cost-effective, and high-quality hiring results.

 

Our Talent Acquisition Strategy for Kingspan

Rent a Recruiter implemented a fully embedded, end-to-end talent acquisition solution tailored to the manufacturing environment:

  • Dedicated Talent Partner embedded on-site to act as an internal recruiter

  • Full lifecycle ownership from job spec creation to offer negotiation

  • Supported recruitment for 30+ unique job titles including Production Operatives, Service Engineers, Sales Advisors, Technical Specialists, and Management roles

  • Applicant Tracking System (ATS) implementation to streamline process flow

  • Weekly hiring syncs with HR and hiring managers to remove bottlenecks

  • Real-time market insights including salary benchmarking and offer alignment

  • Employer brand audit with an 18-page report benchmarking Kingspan against competitors, with actionable recommendations for improving job ads and careers content

  • Reputation management using AI-powered review responses on Indeed to strengthen Kingspan’s employer brand presence

 

This approach provided structure, insight, and capacity, helping the internal team shift from reactive to strategic hiring.

 

What Made the Project a Success

  • High Responsiveness: Weekly check-ins ensured strong collaboration and momentum

  • Integrated Access: Our Talent Partner was part of the team, working within Kingspan’s systems and tools

  • Data-Driven Process: Insights and regular reporting empowered hiring managers and reduced decision-making delays

  • Flexibility: The subscription model allowed Kingspan to scale hiring support based on business needs
