Independent utility network provider finds highly qualified engineers for large-scale multi-site new builds within one week 

Technical Resources partnered with the company’s internal talent team to deliver on urgent hiring needs. 


An independent utility network provider had taken on a 5-year, multi-site project for brand-new builds.

The company is one of the leaders in Fiber and Cabling in the UK. However, the project’s scale made it clear that their internal labour alone was not enough to fulfil their requirements. They needed support to find additional talent fast.


Securing qualified talent within urgent timelines

Since the company was already under time constraints, they had to find contractors who not only had the skillset they needed but were also able to start as soon as possible. With that in mind, Technical Resources offered to take on the company’s full requirements.


Leverage data to quickly make informed hiring decisions

We utilised our extensive database to look for qualified engineers that had documented feedback from previous contract work. We then referenced each engineer’s experience and qualifications with the job’s exact specifications.


Working alongside the company’s internal team, we developed a unique candidate rating system that allowed us to quickly filter the best engineers for their respective roles.


Over the course of a week, Technical Resources delivered 10 engineers to meet the initial requirements. The fast turnaround allowed the company to save on time and costs, resulting in 9 further requests for engineering talent across various other locations.


Once the contractors were secured, we also advised the company to take the engineers on for the full scope of work. This helped to reassure both parties of a long-term working relationship and cemented their commitment.
