Hiring in the EV space? You already know how tricky it can be to find the right talent, especially with the demand growing across everything from battery tech to charging infrastructure.
That’s where an electric vehicle staffing agency comes in. But let’s be real—not all agencies know what they’re doing in this space.
If you're about to team up with an EV staffing agency, these five questions can help you cut through the noise and find the right partner for your hiring needs.
1. Do They Specialize in the EV Industry?
A lot of agencies say they do EV hiring, but when you dig in, they’re just general recruiters who added “EV” to their website.
The truth? The electric vehicle space is full of technical, fast-moving roles that require recruiters who understand the industry inside and out.
At EV.Careers, we live and breathe this world. We’re not just another staffing firm—we’re the #1 EV job board and recruiting partner, with over 25,000 professionals across, plus a thriving LinkedIn group full of industry talent and conversations.
- Battery systems
- Charging infrastructure
- Software & connected services
- EV manufacturing
- Power electronics
And we don’t just drop resumes in your inbox. We help you find the right fit.
2. How Do They Screen and Deliver Candidates?
An EV staffing agency should make your life easier—not give you more work.
So ask them:
- Do they pre-screen candidates?
- How do they qualify them technically?
- Do they just send resumes, or give you insights too?
With EV.Careers, you can choose the level of support you need:
- Job Board Access (5%) – great if you already have an internal recruiter
- Job Board + Screening (8%) – we pre-screen and give you notes on every candidate
- Full Recruiting (20%) – end-to-end hiring support from sourcing to offer
Bonus: You only pay us if you hire someone.

3. What’s It Going to Cost Me?
This is a big one. Most agencies charge 25–35% of a hire’s salary. That adds up fast, especially if you’re scaling.
We do things differently.
EV.Careers is designed to be affordable, flexible, and startup-friendly:
- No monthly fees
- No upfront costs
- Just 5–20% per hire, depending on the tier you choose
If you want to save up to 80% compared to traditional recruiting, you’re in the right place.
4. Can They Grow with You?
Whether you're hiring your first EV engineer or staffing out an entire product team, your needs will shift—and your agency should be able to keep up.
A strong EV staffing agency will scale with you and give you access to a deep bench of specialized talent.
That’s what we do. At EV.Careers, we’ve helped:
- Startups staff fast
- Enterprises expand their EV operations
- Hiring teams build out leadership roles with confidence
No matter where you are in your growth, we’ve got your back.
5. Do They Know the EV Hiring Market?
Finding great EV talent takes more than just a job post. You need someone who understands what top candidates want—and how to stand out in this competitive space.
We’ve been in EV hiring for over 7 years, and we’re constantly advising clients on:
- Salary trends
- Where the talent is
- How to pitch roles to high-demand candidates
- What benefits and flexibility matter most right now
It’s not just about filling seats—it’s about helping you hire smarter and faster.
