EV Employers By EV.Careers Published on July 7

Client Challenge

Hiring technical talent in the electric vehicle industry is always challenging, but when you add a highly specific skillset, a tight deadline, and a small local talent pool, it becomes even more difficult.

That was the case for our client, a DC fast charging company based in the Midwest. They needed a Test Engineer with specialized expertise in EV systems—someone who could step in quickly and make an impact. But in a region with limited access to experienced EV professionals, the search had stalled.

They needed help finding the right person, and they needed it fast.

That’s when they reached out to EV.Careers.

We got started immediately, activating our 20% hiring tier, designed for companies looking for full-cycle, hands-on recruiting support. From the initial discovery call to the accepted offer, we worked closely with the client to execute a streamlined and efficient hiring process.

Here’s how we approached the search:

  • Leveraged our deep experience in EV hiring to quickly identify qualified candidates in a difficult market
  • Delivered a top candidate within just four business days
  • Managed the full interview process, including scheduling, feedback, and offer negotiations
  • Maintained close alignment with the hiring team to ensure momentum and clarity at every step
