How We Helped Our Client Fill a Senior Environmental Scientist Position
The Client:
The Client is an award-winning architecture, engineering, and consulting firm based in New York. They are certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) by various government agencies.
The Problem/Opportunity:
The Client had to fill the position of Senior Environmental Scientist, and they faced several challenges in filling that position:
- The position required a candidate with significant knowledge of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR)
- By market standards, the Client’s pay offer was not sufficient, and they required a candidate from nearby areas
The SES2 Solution:
Our team here at Sterling Engineering Support Services (SES2) did an in-depth examination of the job requirements. By extensively using all the resources at our disposal, including our internal database, we broadened the search and discovered exceptionally qualified candidates. However, the Client specifically required a candidate from the specified location. Despite these constraining criteria, we were able to present a few candidates from that region using our target candidate search using advanced tools, specialized sourcing techniques, and expert insights from our recruitment team. The Client further requested an experienced candidate who would accept a reduced salary. After conducting a thorough internal screening process, we identified a candidate who met all the qualifications and was actively seeking employment. Consequently, we successfully placed him in the role.
How Our Solution Created Value for the Client:
SES2 presented the Client with multiple options after identifying a strong pool of candidates for the Senior Environmental Scientist vacancy. The Client conducted interviews and selected a candidate, and within a month, the position was successfully filled. Our efficient and results-oriented approach created immense value for the Client, contributing to the success of their project. It positioned Sterling Engineering Support Services (SES2) as a trusted and reliable partner for all of the Client’s engineering staffing requirements.
