BH Technologies™ Case Study
Sourcing, Vetting, and Onboarding Niche Talent for Support on Medical Devices
Challenge
Our client, a leading medical device company specializing in developing, manufacturing, producing, and distributing continuous glucose monitoring systems for diabetes management, faced a daunting challenge. They needed to fill a highly specialized role for a senior firmware SDET (software development engineer in test) consultant. The role required a unique combination of software and firmware testing capabilities and extensive development experience. Despite searching for seven months, our client struggled to find the right candidate, and the position remained open.
Solution
Recognizing our client’s predicament, Beacon Hill Technologies stepped in to help. Having successfully placed over 120 candidates in other roles for the client, we were well-positioned to offer our expertise. We conducted an in-depth session with the hiring manager to fully understand the role’s requirements and began a rigorous three-month search for the right candidate.
Despite unique challenges such as the hiring manager's lack of clarity regarding the exact skills required, we persisted, asking specific questions to better understand the role’s nuances. This adaptability and problem-solving approach are key to our success.
With a clear understanding of the role’s requirements, we engaged our top recruiter, who sent out hundreds of messages to potential candidates. We carefully screened and presented six highly qualified candidates to the hiring manager, who ultimately selected one of our top picks.
Despite the unexpected departure of the candidate due to health concerns, we swiftly adapted and found a suitable replacement. Leveraging our experience working with the hiring manager, we identified the exact type of candidate the company was seeking and secured an excellent fit within one week!
Achievements
Our candidate began working for our client and was highly passionate about our client’s mission. Our efforts empowered our client to go from having zero support for four months to having our team’s support for three months, ultimately resulting in the successful placement of a qualified candidate.
Our client plans to open more of these roles, and we have earned first priority for these niche positions. Our unwavering dedication to finding the best candidates, consistent communication, and commitment to delivering results sets us apart from the competition.
Beacon Hill Technologies did an outstanding job delivering what I needed. Their ability to communicate and provide feedback on the candidates they presented helped me identify the ideal candidate for the role. I was impressed with their exceptional communication and delivery.
