Rapid Talent Acquisition for a Growing Print Business
Case Study
A prominent marketing and communications print company sought to rapidly staff a new site in Cheshire West. The post-pandemic landscape presented a unique challenge: a shortage of experienced printers due to retirements and industry shifts. Finding a large number of suitable candidates within a tight timeframe was critical for the company’s expansion.
Taylor Higson stepped in, taking charge of the entire recruitment process, including search, selection, induction, and onboarding.
Recognising the value of transferable skills, Taylor Higson also sourced candidates from other FMCG sectors, offering them tailored training to ensure a seamless transition into the print industry.

Laura, along with her team, have run a successful campaign for one of our new sites and has gained the utmost respect from myself and senior stakeholders. I could not recommend working with Laura enough!”
