Building a Stronger HR Team for a Leading Technology Manufacturing Business
How Robert Walters helped a leading global electronics and connectivity solutions provider strengthen its HR team to support rapid organisational growth.
Case Study
Our client is a global leader in electronic and connectivity solutions, with operations across Taiwan and global markets. As the business continued to grow rapidly, the company needed to expand its Taiwan team. To support this expansion and strengthen its future talent strategy, the client first needed to build out its HR function by hiring key HR professionals, including HR Business Partners and Talent Acquisition specialists.
However, in an increasingly competitive electronics manufacturing and supply chain talent market, HR professionals with multinational experience, commercial acumen, English capability and strong cultural fit were limited. This made the hiring process highly challenging.

The challenge
As the client’s business grew, the company needed to expand its Taiwan team. Strengthening the HR team became the first step to support future hiring and organisational growth.
The client needed HR professionals with multinational experience, strong English skills, commercial acumen and familiarity with the technology manufacturing sector. However, talent with this mix of experience and cultural fit was limited.
Despite working with several recruitment partners, the client still faced challenges reaching suitable candidates. They partnered with Robert Walters for a more targeted and consultative search approach.
