Client Challenge
Expanding into the U.S. market is a major step especially in the highly competitive EV charging space.
This global EV charging company was actively building out its commercial team and needed a Sales Account Manager who could immediately contribute. The role required someone who understood the EV ecosystem, could manage complex sales cycles, and confidently engage with multiple stakeholders.
On paper, it sounded straightforward. In reality, it wasn’t.
The combination of industry-specific experience and commercial capability made the talent pool extremely limited. Internal hiring efforts weren’t delivering the right fit, and timelines were starting to slip. The company needed to move quickly but without compromising on quality.
They didn’t just need candidates.
They needed a ready-to-go hire.

Why This Matters
In a competitive industry like EV charging, speed can be a real advantage, but only if you don’t sacrifice quality. In the EV industry, timing matters. Delays in hiring can slow down expansion, partnerships, and revenue growth.
This case shows that speed doesn’t have to come at the expense of quality.
When you already have:
- A trusted talent network
- Pre-qualified candidates
- A clear understanding of the role
You can move quickly and make the right hire.
