Introduction

In metalworking, precision and quality are non-negotiable. So when KM Kovnica faced a sharp increase in orders, the challenge wasn't just finding people quickly — it was growing the production team without letting standards slip. This is the story of how we did it together.

The Challenge: Scaling Without Compromise

Production cycles demand an agility that traditional hiring can't match. Job postings, interviews and notice periods take months — while orders wait weeks. KM Kovnica needed three things at once: fast filling of open positions, dependable people for production and facility maintenance, and smooth integration with minimal disruption to running processes. Above all, management needed confidence that delivery deadlines would hold.

The Solution: A System Built for Fast Adaptation

Gettalent took on the role of a strategic partner, applying a model that combines mandatory testing with operational speed. Every candidate went through a practical skills check tailored specifically to KM Kovnica's working conditions — not a generic test, but a verification against the actual job. Most of the team came from Ukraine, integrating quickly thanks to language and cultural proximity. Throughout the engagement, we maintained daily contact with both management and the teams on the floor, catching small issues before they could become production delays.

What Made It Work

Two-way satisfaction turned out to be the quiet driver of the results. Employees gave consistently positive feedback about the client — fair conditions and clear communication — which directly reduced turnover and kept experienced people on the line. Stable teams meant no repeated onboarding, no lost productivity, and growing trust on both sides.

The Results in Numbers

Key Takeaways

• Mandatory skills testing tailored to the client's conditions protects quality even under time pressure.

• International teams integrate fast when language and culture are close — and when support is real.

• Daily communication between agency, management and employees prevents small issues from growing.

• When employees are treated fairly, retention follows — and stable teams protect production continuity.
