Recruitment and Staffing for Network Engineers
A prominent online directory platform, recognized across households, was struggling to recruit skilled network engineers for its Los Angeles office. Despite a well-known brand, the client found it difficult to attract top-tier talent who could support their expanding infrastructure and align with the company’s long-term vision.
Our Approach
The team behind Edgeside, while working under a different company at the time, played a key role in addressing this recruitment challenge through a strategic and targeted approach:
- Leveraging a Strong Network of Technology Professionals:
The team drew on their extensive network of highly skilled technology professionals, including those not actively seeking new roles but open to the right opportunity. These deep industry connections helped identify a select group of candidates who perfectly matched the client’s technical requirements and cultural values.
- Engaging Candidates on a Technical and Cultural Level:
Experienced technology experts within the team conducted thorough technical assessments and engaged candidates in meaningful discussions about their careers, skills, and aspirations. This ensured that each candidate not only met the technical standards required by the client but also aligned with the company’s culture and values.
- Communicating Culture and Lifestyle:
Understanding that a job is more than just a set of responsibilities, the team emphasized the importance of culture and lifestyle in their discussions with potential candidates. By effectively conveying the client’s culture and the lifestyle benefits of the roles, they attracted candidates who were not only qualified but also genuinely excited about the opportunity.
The Result
The targeted approach led to the successful recruitment of a small, highly qualified group of network engineers, filling all of the client’s open positions. These new hires integrated seamlessly into the team and enjoyed long-term careers with the client. Many expressed their gratitude for the opportunity, acknowledging the critical role that the team played in connecting them with such fulfilling positions.
The client, impressed with the quality of candidates and the efficiency of the recruitment process, subsequently offered additional staffing and project work, all of which were completed to their full satisfaction.
