SITUATION:
A California-based steel company was preparing to open a new steel mill and needed competitive salary data for all potential roles. This information was essential not only for workforce planning and recruitment but also as a key requirement to secure federal funding to support workforce development for the new facility.
SOLUTION:
Under a tight deadline, Exude conducted a comprehensive compensation benchmarking effort, identifying multi-level role criteria and corresponding market data points for all anticipated positions. The data provided the foundation for a targeted recruitment strategy focused on sourcing niche manufacturing talent in a competitive and geographically challenging labor market.
RESULTS:
With the data in hand, the company successfully submitted for—and obtained—federal funding to support its climate-positive steel manufacturing initiative. The project has since broken ground, with workforce planning aligned to competitive compensation insights.
