Overview
AB Group is an Italian industrial company specialising in renewable energy systems, with a global presence spanning 23 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Australia. Employing over 1,300 people, it has been a leader in energy transition for more than 40 years.
With a modern 40,000 sqm industrial hub in Orzinuovi (Brescia) that represents Made in Italy excellence, AB Group manages the entire lifecycle of its systems, from research and development to construction, commissioning, and after-sales service.
As the company embarked on a significant strategic repositioning to strengthen its presence in Italy and expand internationally, corporate social responsibility and innovation became central to its mission. AB Group needed a recruitment solution capable of supporting its ambitious growth objectives.
The Challenge
AB Group required a structured recruitment partner to meet critical talent acquisition and employer branding needs during its repositioning. The company’s goal was to attract and retain specialised, middle-management, and professional profiles to support its development.
Several key challenges emerged:
Talent Scarcity: Finding highly skilled professionals in specialised roles for both Italian and international markets.
Service-Specific Recruitment Needs: Managing complex recruitment demands in the Service function, which required targeted expertise.
Global Coordination: Ensuring consistency and efficiency in recruitment processes across multiple countries.
Our Approach
We partnered with AB Group to deliver a full-cycle Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) solution tailored to its specific needs.
Our dedicated RPO team immersed itself in AB Group’s organisational culture to design a recruitment strategy that aligned with the company’s values of sustainability, ethics, and innovation. The approach focused on two core pillars:
Market-Focused Talent Acquisition: We implemented effective recruitment processes to fill Service roles in the Italian market, ensuring AB Group could meet its domestic operational needs.
Centralised Governance for Global Recruitment: By coordinating international recruitment activities from AB Group’s headquarters, we ensured streamlined processes and consistent execution across multiple markets.
