Our Approach

Our long-term relationship with Magna has been built on trust, responsiveness and a deep understanding of their operational environment. Having visited the site on several occasions over the years, our team has gained valuable insight into the company’s culture, production processes, and technical requirements.

Initially focused on placing skilled individuals into Production, Logistics and Engineering roles, our support has expanded in the last three years to include a diverse range of business support functions, ensuring a comprehensive recruitment solution.

We have continued to work in close collaboration with the team to identify the right candidates across all levels of the business—those who not only meet the job requirements but also share Magna’s values and commitment to quality.

The Results

Since the start of 2025 alone, we have placed 11 permanent members of staff into key roles across the business, including:

  • 7 within Production
  • 2 Production Leads
  • 1 within IT
  • 1 within the New Product Development (NPD) team

 

Our ability to deliver high-calibre candidates quickly and consistently has supported Magna’s growth and helped them adapt to the increasing demands of a competitive and fast-moving industry.
