How An Engineer Transformed Recruiting & Candidate Engagement

WORK EMPOWERED

“Asali successfully streamlined our recruiting process by training and motivating engineers to be more engaged in hiring. Her structured approach eliminated administrative burdens and helped us scale our team effectively.”

Michael S, a mechanical engineering professional, faced a common challenge in the competitive consulting engineering and Mission Critical Facilities (MCF) market—his team’s recruiting process was inconsistent and placed too much administrative burden on engineers. This lack of structure made it difficult to attract and evaluate top talent. Michael leveraged Asali’s small recruiting team for their talent acquisition and sourcing expertise to streamline hiring and improve team engagement.

Challenges

  • Inconsistent hiring process that led to inefficiencies and candidate drop-off

  • Engineers were disengaged from recruiting efforts due to administrative burdens

  • The need for a structured and repeatable system to scale hiring efficiently

Solution

Through Asali’s Recruiting Strategy & Team Engagement Coaching, Michael and his team benefited from:

  • A comprehensive interview guide with structured prompts and a scoring system to ensure fair and effective candidate evaluations

  • Recruiter and team training to encourage engineers to take an active role in hiring, making the process more engaging and collaborative

  • Streamlined hiring documentation, reducing administrative tasks and improving coordination between in-office and campus recruiters

Results

  • Doubled the size of the MCF group during Asali’s tenure

  • Increased engineer participation in hiring, leading to stronger team engagement

  • Standardized and simplified recruiting, creating a scalable, repeatable process that improved efficiency and candidate experience
