HSM Solutions
How Array centralized recruiting, accelerated hiring velocity, and reduced turnover across a multi-state manufacturing network.
As HSM Solutions expanded operations across 36 plants in 15 states, decentralized recruiting and inconsistent hiring processes created delays, turnover, and spend fragmentation.
Array implemented a national RPO model—centralizing recruiting, standardizing reporting, and increasing monthly hiring throughput—while reducing time-to-fill and stabilizing plant-level workforce delivery.

The Operational Challenge
HSM required a single recruiting partner capable of serving 36 geographically dispersed manufacturing facilities—each with unique skill demands and fluctuating hiring needs.
Before centralization:
Recruiting vendors operated independently- Spend visibility was limited
- Reporting was inconsistent
- Time-to-fill varied significantly by plant
- Turnover created recurring hiring cycles
- Leadership needed a unified system to control costs, accelerate hiring, and improve retention—without adding internal administrative burden.
Core Constraints:
- Multi-state, multi-plant coordination
- High-volume manufacturing roles
- Limited visibility into hiring funnel data
- Need for centralized invoicing and reporting
How Array Centralized and Accelerated Hiring
From fragmented vendors to a unified national recruiting engine.
Array implemented a national RPO model designed to centralize control while preserving plant-level responsiveness.
The strategy focused on three performance levers:
Standardized recruiting workflows
Centralized time tracking, invoicing, and reporting
Consistent performance measurement across locations
Standardizing High-Volume Manufacturing Hiring
Array became the single go-to recruiting source across all 36 plants—eliminating vendor fragmentation and standardizing screening, interviewing, and onboarding processes.
What Changed

What This Proves
In distributed manufacturing environments, recruiting fragmentation drives cost variability and hiring delays.
By centralizing recruiting under a national RPO framework, HSM gained visibility, velocity, and workforce stability across 36 plants—without expanding internal HR infrastructure.
Scale became predictable instead of reactive.
Centralization increases hiring velocity
Visibility reduces recruiting spend variability
Standardized screening improves retention
National scale does not require internal complexity
