Promise Energy needed to grow its Project Development and Engineering teams to keep up with the demand for energy solutions. Despite being experts in their field, finding the right engineers and developers was tough, especially in new areas like hybrid microgrids and energy storage. This made it hard for Promise Energy to expand quickly in these important fields.
There weren't enough skilled people available in these new industries, and those who were often had many job options, which drove up how much they expected to be paid. When hiring salespeople, Promise Energy needed candidates with specific customer relationships. They also wanted team players who could work well with others, but sometimes they found candidates who preferred working alone, which didn't fit with Promise Energy's team-focused approach.
These challenges highlighted the need for Promise Energy to carefully tailor their hiring process to find people who not only had the right technical skills but also matched the company's collaborative culture and customer-focused approach.
To tackle these challenges, Promise Energy partnered with Tonic. The team at Tonic met with Promise Energy’s leaders to present back research findings of the market. They took the time to understand Promise Energy’s unique culture and operational style. They focused on traits like self-starting ability for remote roles, adaptability to new processes, teamwork skills, and a mindset geared towards growth and leadership.
Using a thorough two-stage screening process, Tonic evaluated candidates based on these criteria and provided detailed reports to streamline Promise Energy’s hiring process. Before making offers, Tonic conducted comprehensive reference checks to ensure candidates fit well with Promise Energy’s environment.
Tonic’s team delivered quick results. Within two weeks, they completed market research and presented a detailed report to Promise Energy. Within four weeks, Promise Energy successfully identified skilled professionals, including Senior Project Developers, Engineers, Training Managers, and Project Managers.
The partnership with Tonic earned high praise from Promise Energy’s CEO, Adam Boucher, for their expertise and dedication. This collaboration not only filled critical roles but also set Promise Energy on a path for long-term success in the competitive energy industry.
By understanding Promise Energy’s needs and executing a tailored recruitment strategy, Tonic helped them overcome challenges and achieve sustainable growth in the dynamic energy sector.
