The Challenge
A fast-growing energy and manufacturing company faced urgent hiring needs but lacked an internal recruiting team. In remote markets with limited local talent, they struggled to attract candidates willing to work onsite. Hiring managers were left to recruit on their own—slowing projects and leaving critical roles unfilled.
The Solution
LevelUP stepped in with an RPO solution, embedding a recruiter who became both the client’s recruiting function and trusted advisor. Our approach centered on two priorities:
- Talent Intelligence: Redirecting sourcing to markets with stronger candidate availability, ensuring time and resources were used effectively.
- EVP Messaging: Highlighting reduced commute times, lower cost of living, and favorable schedules to attract candidates who might not have otherwise considered the roles.
This combination of market realignment and compelling EVP outreach enabled the client to overcome both geographic and structural barriers. In just seven months, LevelUP filled 67 critical roles and built a strong, ongoing partnership with the client.
