The Company

Case Study: Strategic Talent Partner in the Manufacturing Industry

Bermingham Construction was founded in 1897 by William Bermingham, who was succeeded by three further generations of Berminghams at the helm. The company started building the foundation of Canada’s infrastructure and has continued that role into our second century. Berminghammer Foundation Equipment began as part of Bermingham Construction under the Bermingham Foundation Solutions name, which was purchased by Soletanche Freyssinet in 2013.

The Challenge

Berminghammer was struggling to maintain a reliable hiring pipeline. Agencies were submitting poor-quality candidates who didn’t meet the required skill level, and communication was often inconsistent, leaving their team without timely updates. On top of that, interview no-shows had become a recurring issue, wasting valuable time and slowing down progress. They needed a partner who could deliver stronger candidates, clearer communication, and a more dependable process.

The Solution

To address these challenges, STRIVE implemented a targeted and dependable recruitment
approach:

• Quality-Focused Screening: We strengthened vetting procedures to ensure only highly
qualified, well-aligned candidates were presented.

• Proactive Communication: Regular updates and clear timelines kept Berminghammer
fully informed at every stage of the process.

• Candidate Reliability Measures: We introduced stronger candidate engagement and
confirmation steps to reduce no-shows and improve overall consistency.

Through this approach, we successfully placed critical roles across multiple verticals and
geographical regions.

The Outcome

Partnering with STRIVE quickly improved the quality and reliability of Berminghammer’s hiring process. Stronger screening brought in better-matched candidates, proactive communication created a smoother and more predictable workflow, and enhanced candidate engagement significantly reduced interview no-shows. Together, these changes helped Berminghammer regain momentum, save valuable time, and hire with far greater confidence.
