Agile resource assistance through Third-party skills & Task based support.

Key skills have become harder to find, and as a third-party skills provider we have stepped up to fill the void. Probe offer services from advisory to full or part-time placement in manufacturing functions such as quality, production, engineering, safety, and maintenance. As companies drive to improve productivity, effective agile resource planning can have a significant benefit on streamlining headcount and thus improving your business productivity. Engaging with Probe as a key partner to provide third party skills only when they are needed will ensure you always have access to the appropriate resources across all functions. We like to look at it as offering companies strength in depth.

There are many activities which need to be performed within organisations which are a bolt-on to somebody’s every day function. These can be things like calibration, internal or process auditing, IMDS, warranty analysis, or annual tear down; these are often business critical and even legislative requirements, but because they aren’t core tasks, they often slip between the cracks. Outsourcing these tasks to Probe is an assured way of protecting your business and avoiding any awkward audit findings or worse, operational failure and customer dissatisfaction.
