THE CHALLENGE

Our client had recently completed a continuous improvement programme across one of its business units, spanning four operational hubs in Europe. As a result, the senior leadership team reviewed the existing management structures at these sites and sought to supplement the leadership teams to sustain improvements and drive further performance.  

In total, Miramar was retained to deliver 11 senior-level hires across maintenance, production, EHS, and manufacturing functions, while covering two countries and four production sites. 

THE SOLUTION

Given the remote locations and restricted local candidate pools for several positions, Miramar executed a genuinely global search. We qualified, interviewed, and expatriated multiple high-performing candidates from diverse geographies including Brazil, Morocco, and Tunisia.  

Due to the scale and urgency of the project, our approach balanced quality and quantity, ensuring both comprehensive coverage and precision in selection.

THE RESULT

  • Shortlists completed for all 11 mandates, with an additional auxiliary hire selected from a pool of high-caliber candidates  
  • Market representation of the brand across Europe, with 1,000+ candidates approached  
  • Extensive market intelligence delivered, including insights on compensation, availability, and competition 

The impact

This large-scale hiring programme enabled our client to strengthen leadership capability across multiple operational hubs, ensuring the sustainability of its continuous improvement initiatives.  

By securing globally sourced talent, our client was able to infuse fresh perspectives and technical expertise into its European operations, overcoming the limitations of local talent pools.  

The new leadership team has driven improvements in operational efficiency, safety, and production reliability, reinforcing their ability to compete effectively and deliver consistent performance across its European network.
