Supporting Growth for a Leading Independent Power Generation Service Provider

Client

A PE-backed aftermarket service provider specializing in industrial gas turbines.

Founded: Early 2000s | Industry: Power Generation

Overview

This company is one of the largest third-party independent service providers for industrial gas turbines globally. As they entered an aggressive growth phase—driven by acquisitions and private equity investment—they required talent solutions that could scale with urgency and precision.

Challenge

The company had been working with a recruiting partner who wasn’t delivering results—few candidates, limited communication, and stalled progress. Internally, teams were under pressure to fill complex, high-level roles quickly, without sacrificing quality.

They needed a partner who could:

• Act as an extension of their hiring team
• Present highly qualified candidates fast
• Understand both the niche technical space and internal dynamics
• Help reestablish hiring momentum after weeks of delay

Key Hiring Needs

We were engaged to help fill several essential roles tied directly to both day-to-day operations and long-term growth strategy, including:

• Executive Leader (in progress)
• Senior Repair Engineers
• Metallurgist Engineers
• Combustion Engineers
• Operations Managers
• Technical Representatives

Each role required candidates with deep sector knowledge, adaptability, and a high level of precision—both technically and culturally.

Our Approach

We stepped in with a fast-paced, hands-on strategy. Within days of intake, we were presenting pre-vetted, aligned candidates—resetting the search entirely.

We sourced deep into the passive market and prioritized quality over volume. Our team conducted in-depth interviews to surface the nuances that go beyond a resume—work style, adaptability, and alignment with the company’s evolving structure.

We brought recommendations forward quickly and with context, helping hiring managers feel confident moving candidates through the process.

A Partnership Built on Trust and Mutual Success

Over time, this company transitioned to working with us exclusively for key roles. What started as a stopgap solution became a trusted partnership built on reliability, speed, and honest dialogue.

They appreciated that we weren’t transactional—we advised, challenged, and collaborated. When we brought forward candidates who were undervaluing themselves, we spoke up. That trust allowed our recommendations to be viewed as insight, not salesmanship.

The value we brought—through deep industry knowledge, thoughtful process, and alignment with internal leadership—far exceeded what they’d experienced with other firms.

Results

• Filled multiple senior leadership and technical roles
• Turnaround from intake to candidate submission in days, not weeks
• Rescued stalled searches and restored hiring momentum
• Delivered candidates who’ve made immediate impact across departments
• Strengthened executive and field operations teams during a critical growth window

Client Impact

These hires helped the company stabilize and scale during a transformational season. With increased trust from leadership and successful outcomes in every engagement, this relationship has continued to grow.

We remain their go-to recruiting partner, supporting everything from specialized engineering to VP-level executive searches, with a shared understanding of urgency, quality, and partnership.
