A London-based manufacturer was experiencing persistent shortages in CNC machinists and welders, leading to production slowdowns and high turnover among new recruits. They required a long-term solution to develop a reliable, skilled workforce.
Sayaka Office partnered with the client to design a comprehensive recruitment and development plan. We sourced qualified expat candidates and created a bespoke onboarding programme, combining technical upskilling with structured mentorship. Senior staff were trained as mentors, focusing on skill transfer, expectations and cultural alignment.
Delivered tailored CNC and welding modules aligned with UK standards
Facilitated mentor-mentee feedback sessions to surface and resolve early challenges
Supported ongoing development through career planning and performance reviews
Within six months, the company saw a 30% drop in turnover, faster integration and a measurable increase in productivity. Job satisfaction improved across teams, with stronger cohesion between new and existing staff.
Our team bridges the gap between skilled expat trades professionals and forward-thinking European employers.
