Dynamis Power Solutions

A leading clean technology company specializing in mobile power solutions faced the challenge of sourcing talent for two critical positions in Houston, Texas:

1. A dynamic Inside Sales Manager who could serve as a key figure in their succession planning for sales management roles.
2. A Technical Battery Product Line Leader to further advance their presence in the rapidly evolving energy storage sector.

Finally, our client is committed to enhancing its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives to address existing gaps and promote inclusivity.

STQ Partners joined the search effort nine months into our client's pursuit for top talent.

Our client, as many have, found the Houston market extremely competitive when it came to sourcing strong electro-mechanical professionals. Furthermore, the remaining effects of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to a shrinking talent pool, as candidates increasingly prioritized work-life balance over braving Houston's notorious traffic. Consequently, the search could only focus its efforts on those candidates that were commutable to the office, leaving only one-third of the Houston market to aim at.

In alignment with the values that our Q-Print unearthed, this client is deeply committed to cultivating a diverse workforce and integrating a strong succession plan... which ultimately, further limits the available talent pool.

Adding complexity to the search, our client faced uncertainty regarding the appropriate compensation due to the pandemic's impact on salary levels. As part of our comprehensive and data driven solution, STQ Partners offered "salary benchmarking" to continuously assess and feedback these trends. This approach not only provided our client with real time recruitment data but also allowed us to maintain a wider talent pool by offering competitive compensation packages.

Both positions were successfully filled within a time frame fewer than five weeks.

STQ Partners' Q-Print solution played a crucial role in the successful outcome of these searches. Utilising the knowledge and insights generated by Q-Print, powered by our client, regarding the talent landscape, adjacent markets, and the traits of top-performing candidates, to name a few, enabled STQ Partners to significantly broaden its talent pool while maintaining an expedited recruitment process.

Of particular note, the Inside Sales Manager role was filled with a standout candidate whose profile was submitted in under 24 hours, as one of the initial “benchmark mark” candidates. This candidate, a highly qualified female with a Ph.D., possessed the scalability and qualifications our client was seeking.
