I was encouraged after watching the meticulous process in how candidates are selected and presented to us with a high level of experience. EPG has created a team of specialized recruiters that focus on your exact requirements and supply highly qualified professionals for interviews. EPG quickly became our main source for all levels of employment, including senior management. I have referred EPG to many other manufacturers in our industry and will count on them for future support.”

    “EPG has helped us build a great field technician team by creating a strong pipeline of candidates that includes engineers, technicians, and operators. They’re plugged into the transportation market and have proven to be effective on searches immediately, allowing us to spend more time on our business. We enjoy working with EPG and would highly recommend them.”

    - COO of Autonomous and Electric Vehicle Partner

    “EPG was referred to me and despite my skepticism having worked with less than stellar recruiters in the past, the experience with Joe and the whole EPG has been top-notch. EPG did a wonderful job of actually listening to my specific requirements, not just in job experience but in the nuanced things as well. Because of this EPG has been able to provide top tier candidates which not only suited my needs but exceeded them. If you are looking for specific needs in AV recruiting I would highly recommend Joe and EPG, they are motivated, they listen and they are great to work with.”

    - Director of Operations of Autonomous Vehicle Partner

    “The EPG team approached our challenge as a partner from the very first engagement. EPG demonstrated this partnership by being more than a search engine for people as we hunted the right candidate for a newly defined role. EPG’s support was appreciated as we challenged the wish list of what a candidate needed to be and helped to crystalize it into what was needed to find our “golden egg”. Hiring teams that are struggling to find the perfect candidate for senior experts and leaders would benefit from EPGs approach to characterizing candidates and candid feedback on how to pivot the search when needed to be successful in a timely manner.”

    - Innovation Manager of EV Manufacturing Client

    “For several months we had difficulty filling a critical new management position within our electrification division, so I turned to EPG for their EV recruiting expertise. Within one week of our initial intake conversation, EPG presented us with their first candidate, who ultimately proved to be the person who was hired for the role. EPG’s deep understanding of the EV industry and their ability to identify top talent saved me time and allowed us to find the right person for the job. I highly recommend EPG to anyone looking for top-notch EV recruiting services.”

    - Senior Manager of Electrification Client

    “Our search for an EV-specialized recruiting firm led us to EPG, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. Within a short timeframe, EPG presented us with a pool of highly qualified candidates, exceeding our expectations. Initially, we intended to hire only one candidate, but the exceptional talent EPG presented compelled us to expand our hiring plans, ultimately bringing on two of their shortlisted individuals. EPG’s in-depth knowledge of the EV industry and our specific hiring needs proved invaluable in streamlining the recruitment process and minimizing our time spent on candidate interviews. We wholeheartedly recommend EPG to anyone seeking top-notch EV recruiting services characterized by clear communication and exceptional results.”

    First, we take the time to fully review your company and job description(s) in order to better understand what you are looking for. We then come up with a list of in-depth questions for our in-take call so that we can ensure that we know exactly the type of candidate that you are looking for. From there, we formulate a full search plan including candidate sales pitch, platform searches, company searches, candidate outreach, and more. Then we make multiple attempts to contact 80–100 people that we feel are qualified. From there, we submit the qualified and interested candidates to you with a full summary notes page.

    Absolutely, our clients love working with us and are always happy to be references. You can also check out some quotes from past success stories on this page.

    We seek to understand your company’s culture and values by reviewing your website and learning more through our intake call. We then use our extensive experience to incorporate questions that will give us a better understanding of the candidate and how they might be a fit. Of course, we value feedback from our clients that will help us continue to hone in on the right candidates.

    We pride ourselves on our communication skills. During the recruitment process, we will maintain communication with each party and ensure a smooth interview process. We will provide you with a written recap of recruiting activities every Friday afternoon. Plus, we like to schedule a weekly or bi-weekly 15-minute call to review recruiting activity and ensure we are on the same page. If you ever need anything we are always available via text, call, or email.

    In order to stay up to date on the latest developments and trends, we started Mobility EVo, a website and twice-weekly newsletter that’s packed with industry information. This information helps us understand where the industry is going and how we can best find the right talent for your needs.

    An important part of our intake call is identifying your unique value proposition and why a candidate should want to join your company. A crucial part of our partnership is seeing ourselves as an extension of your company and selling recruits on what your best qualities are.

    Relationships are important to us at EPG. We don’t work with a million different companies. We work with a select few where we can build a long lasting partnership. Over time, we build a deep database and knowledge of your company which ensures your every recruiting need is fulfilled.

    As a client, you will work directly with a founding member at EPG for account management. We avoid conflicts of interest by only working with one client for each particular product or service group. For example, if you build motors for EVs, we will not work with another EV motor company while we work with you. Partnerships are all about loyalty and staying true to our clients.

    We love metrics and KPIs. Using this data gives us a competitive advantage in finding the right candidates in the shortest amount of time. We use this information to also let our clients know when they need to improve their recruitment process in order to land the best talent. We don’t see ourselves simply as a recruiter, we see ourselves as a partner and advisor to you.
