A Story From the Bay Area
In the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area, a leading transportation and infrastructure services firm was preparing to expand its EV footprint. The company had bold plans: roll out new charging infrastructure projects and lead the charge toward cleaner mobility.
But there was one major roadblock. They needed a Director of EV Infrastructure—a role critical to overseeing strategy, building partnerships, and driving execution. Despite having a strong internal HR team, the search stretched on for months with no success.
The stakes were high. Every week without the right leader meant stalled projects, frustrated teams, and missed opportunities.
Client Challenge:
This firm’s hiring team faced three major roadblocks:
- Niche Expertise Gap: Traditional recruiting channels weren’t surfacing candidates with hands-on EV infrastructure experience.
- Time Drain: Their HR team was stretched thin, balancing dozens of roles while struggling to prioritize this urgent leadership search.
- Competitive Market: Bay Area EV talent is in hot demand—candidates were being snapped up before the firm could even schedule interviews.
After exhausting traditional methods, the company realized they needed expert help—someone who knew the EV world inside and out.
