Recruiter

A specialist in lift engineering needed to fill multiple positions to support a major new contract: including a Repair Manager, a Project Supervisor, and several Lift Service Engineers.

However, they struggled to find the right talent due to:

A severe shortage of qualified lift engineers.
Strict hiring criteria – they wanted experienced candidates with a career history.
A reliance on LinkedIn and other recruiters, who weren’t delivering the right calibre of candidates.

While some agencies worked with them exclusively, their hiring process was slow, and they were inundated with candidates who didn’t match their needs. With time running out, they needed a recruitment partner who understood their industry, could source top-tier talent quickly, and would deliver quality over quantity.

At Stirling Warrington, we believe in a proactive and consultative approach to recruitment. Instead of simply sending CVs, we took the time to build a relationship with this business and tailor our approach to their needs.

Here’s how we did it:

On-site visit & rapport building: We visited their offices, met the team, and gained a deep understanding of their work environment and culture. This allowed us to match candidates beyond just their technical skills. We found people who would thrive at the business long-term.
Expert screening & tailored shortlists: Unlike other agencies, we didn’t bombard them with irrelevant CVs. We rigorously vetted candidates, ensuring they had the right industry experience and fit the company’s high standards.
Fast-tracked hiring for key roles:The Repair Manager role was critical. We found the perfect candidate, facilitated an interview that week, and secured a start date within just two weeks. Proving that industry expertise and efficient recruitment can go hand in hand.
Guidance & interview prep:Our Lift Recruitment Specialist, Ravin, prepped candidates, ensuring they felt confident in the process without being overwhelmed. For technical roles, he walked them through what to expect in interviews, including encouraging them to review site drawings.
Client trust & efficiency:Over time, they saw the results from our trusted expertise. We streamlined communication, advised on realistic hiring expectations, and improved their recruitment process. Saving them time, effort and improving efficiency.

By taking a quality-driven, relationship-first approach, we delivered (where others struggled):

A handful of successful placements, including a Repair Manager, Project Supervisor, and four Lift Service Engineers.
Faster hiring times, with key positions filled in record time.
Stronger employer brand, with positive candidate feedback reinforcing this company as a great place to work.

By focusing on the right candidates, not just filling roles, we built trust with this business and helped them secure the specialist talent they needed. No wasted interviews. Just great hires.

“Ravin was very helpful and went over and beyond to help me get back into the lift industry as an engineer. He made the whole process seamless from the first time he reached out to me to when I received a job offer. Thank you, Ravin – you’re a star!”
