How long was client searching prior to our involvement?

Despite months of searching, the company struggled to find a candidate with the right mix of technical skill, reliability, and cultural fit.

Did client have internal recruiting resources?

Yes, they had posted online job advertisements and have internal recruiting resources.

Why was this a real problem for the client?

The role required a unique blend of hands-on technical expertise and leadership capability. The client needed someone that had strong experience in DDC programming, HVAC system integration, and field commissioning along with the ability to work independently and mentor junior techs. The local talent pool was limited, and most available candidates lacked experience with BACnet, Tridium, and proprietary control platforms. The urgency of upcoming projects added pressure to find the right fit quickly. The Delta Diversified team quickly identified and engaged a highly qualified technician with over 10 years of experience in building automation and HVAC controls. The candidate had a proven track record of commissioning large-scale systems, resolving field issues efficiently, and training junior staff. Within two weeks, the candidate was interviewed, hired, and deployed to a major project.

How did this opportunity help the candidate?

The candidate had previously left the industry and was looking to re-enter it. The role gave the candidate a chance to step into a more senior position with greater autonomy and visibility. The candidate was able to work on larger, more complex systems and take ownership of commissioning and troubleshooting efforts. The company’s collaborative culture and investment in training allowed the candidate to further develop leadership skills and expand expertise in cutting-edge control technologies.
