Blue Tongue’s Heavy Commercial Mechanic Services
Project Planning and Management
At Blue Tongue, we’re not a traditional recruitment or labour hire company, and because of this we’re able to solve even the most persistent challenges faced by heavy haul transport companies when hiring Heavy Commercial Mechanics (on-highway). Previous Clients have reported fewer workforce gaps, higher employee retention, improved company culture, and reduced labour costs, among other positive outcomes.
We’ve been an innovator, pioneer, investor, and risk taker in skills projects for over two decades. We have honed our unique capabilities in project planning and management for companies looking to deal with persistent Heavy Commercial Mechanic (on-highway) workforce challenges.
We specialize in workforce planning for specific heavy duty maintenance skills shortage areas by sourcing talent from all over the globe. With decades of experience in managing large-scale international hiring projects we are experts at minimizing risk for all parties involved. We bring our unique capabilities and IP to businesses that have struggled with solving their workforce challenges in the past using more traditional recruitment methods.
Acquisition and Hiring of Heavy Commercial Mechanics
To ensure only the best and most dedicated technicians are selected for our Programs, we have rigorous market testing and screening processes in place. As a result, we offer employment to only the top candidates who apply for our Heavy Commercial Mechanic (on-highway) global talent program, which minimizes risk for our Clients — we know that our Clients are getting career-minded individuals seeking long-term employment, which helps significantly increase workforce retention.
In addition to the sourcing and selection process, we look after all the logistics around work permits (including visas, sponsorship, and employment contracts) for our skilled international technicians.
Onboarding and Ongoing Management
To ensure our employees are ready to be productive from their first day onsite with our Clients, we have a thorough onboarding process. We not only take care of the individual requirements for technicians to set up a new life in Canada, we also coordinate Client-specific inductions and site visits, to ensure employees are familiar with the workplace before they start.
We also manage the ongoing performance and wellbeing of our employees for the duration of the contract. After this time, technicians can transition to become full-time, direct employees of the Client.
