Streamlined tech recruitment operations at m2e in 2 weeks

The Mission

(we chose to accept it)

m2e is one of the fastest growing structural and civil engineering firms in South Florida. Their sales skyrocketed after new legislation in Florida required inspections for all buildings that reached their 30 year mark by December 2022 to receive an inspection by 2025.

m2e decided to hire an internal recruiter who ended up being a very poor fit for the company. Within one month, they were back at square one. Skyrocketing sales, no internal recruiter, no line of sight as to whether they will reach their hiring goals. Without an internal recruiter, staffing sales proved to be their biggest immediate challenge.

Although m2e desperately needed to hire a recruiter, they were not willing to make another mishire. They wanted to find someone who knew their industry, had built a recruitment department from scratch, and could continue to support a team hiring across a wide variety of disciplines.

The Fix

Test Double collaborated with m2e’s COO, Head of HR, and Hiring Managers to understand the criteria guiding the Talent Manager role. From there, we created and refined the job description, annual goals for the role, and worked alongside this same group to build the interview process.

Test Double also worked closely with the Head of HR to update and streamline current recruitment outreach efforts to improve the overall candidate experience.
