This search was one of nine inside a single six-month embedded recruiting engagement with a pre-IPO defense technology company building radar systems for force protection and airspace security missions. See the full engagement: They Had More Contracted Work Than Their Team Could Execute.
Part of the nine-role embedded engagement covering the client’s EE and RF division over six months.
Why the Search Was Difficult
Running two searches for the same level and discipline at once risked flooding the hiring manager with lookalike resumes, or slowing both searches down.
The challenge was sourcing enough distinct, qualified senior EE candidates from one narrow talent map without diluting the bar.
How ALAC Ran the Search
ALAC treated the two roles as one coordinated campaign against the same talent map, comparing candidates directly against each other.
Each candidate still received an individual structured brief so the hiring manager could evaluate them on their own merits.
Result
Two Senior Electrical Engineer roles filled, each in under 45 days.
Business Impact
Added two senior engineers to the EE bench in the same window it typically takes to fill one, without compromising the screening bar on either hire.
