Business Description Challenges Solutions Located in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, this facility manufactures & assembles the M-Class and the newest members of the Mercedes-Benz line, the R-Class and ML-Class. Everything is under one roo f – from Body, Paint, and Assembly shops to Administration and Shipping. Initially, MBUSI wanted a way to staff a new plant economically, with bes t in class employees. As they expanded into new product lines, they needed to add 2000 people to their workforce. MBUSI wanted us to create a 6-month hiring process to ensure employee hiring criterion were met and capabilities were proved. As a new employer to the area, they received state incentives. To honor state requirements, MBUSI needed a partner to manage the process and ensure its compliance. Case Study – Mercedes Benz US Int’l (MBUSI) At the beginning of the relationship, we created a variable staffing plan that resulted in a 70/30 split between Talent Tree and Mercedes workers. Our next step was to create Hestair, a new operation to enabl e us to attract qualified, experienced staff with industry experience. Talent Tree worked with MBUSI to develop multiple staffing programs including Alabama Industrial Development Training partnership program, payrolling, production temporary workers program, co-op staffing programs, summer intern programs, safety & paramedics and German teachers.
