Client Challenge

Hiring for a senior tech role in the EV industry is never easy, especially when you’re flooded with hundreds of applications and trying to find that one person who actually ticks all the boxes.

That’s exactly what our client, a growing EV charging company, was up against. They were hiring for a Sr. Data Engineer—a key remote role that needed someone with strong technical skills, experience in scaling data systems, and, just as importantly, someone who would be a good cultural fit for a fast-moving team.

They had no shortage of applicants (over 800!), but sorting through all those resumes and figuring out who was truly qualified. That was becoming a major time drain.

EV.Careers Solution

They turned to EV.Careers for help, and we rolled up our sleeves.

We kicked things off with our 20% hiring tier, which includes full-cycle recruitment—ideal for roles where you can’t afford to get it wrong.

Here’s how we tackled it:

• We knew what we were looking for. With years in EV recruiting, we understood what made a great Sr. Data Engineer in this space—and what didn’t.
• We did the heavy lifting. Out of 800+ applicants, we screened over 300 people ourselves.
• We focused on quality, not quantity. We didn’t just send over a bunch of resumes. We handpicked the top candidates who had both the skills and the right attitude.
• We worked as a team. Staying in sync with the client’s hiring managers, we adjusted quickly based on feedback, kept things moving, and made the process smooth from start to finish.
