Task

A leading electric aircraft start-up was looking to add to their Systems Safety team.
They needed two Safety Engineers and a Principal Safety Engineer to lead the project. The client was under immense time pressure and required the engineers to start within 4–6 weeks.

Action

A video meeting was arranged with the VP of Engineering to establish:

• A full brief
• A collaboratively built recruitment process

We proceeded on an exclusive basis within the agreed timelines. A recruitment project was built to include:

• Competitor analysis
• Salary benchmarking
• Targeted headhunting campaign
• Extensive networking and talent pipelining

A shortlist of 12 candidates was submitted, along with references and signed NDAs, three days ahead of the deadline.

• Eight candidates were taken to the first-stage interview.
• Six candidates were invited back for a second interview with the Programme Director and Senior Engineering team.

Value

A detailed initial briefing, extensive headhunt campaign, and refined interview format resulted in a seamless process with full confidentiality maintained.
We helped build a financial offer that was attractive to the candidates and within the client’s budget.

Result

• Three top performers from direct competitors accepted the offer.
• Two candidates relocated prior to their start date.
• Our service and partnership resulted in us supporting future recruitment campaigns, including Systems Engineering, Electronics, and Executive Search assignments.
