THE COMPANY

Based in Arizona, Firetrace Fire Suppression Systems are experts at keeping businesses, people, and equipment safe by automatically detecting and suppressing fires in high-risk equipment.

Under the wider umbrella of Halma Plc, a group of lifesaving companies, Firetrace have over 100 employees, and are dedicated to being a safe, equitable employer.

Firetrace sought a new VP of Marketing to steer into a more strategic direction. Filling the role was time-sensitive.

THE CHALLENGE

Because the Firetrace team were taking a change in direction for the marketing role, they had to realign what they wanted from the ideal candidate.

Despite having an outline of what they needed, the team couldn’t come together to agree what their perfect new Marketing VP would look like, a common problem among teams changing things up from employee to employee.

THE SOLUTION

“They really help you scope out the role, but not just the functional requirements. They really do a great job of helping develop the personal profile of the individual you’re looking for.”

During a scoping call, collaborated with Rob and Firetrace to outline the hiring process and specific requirements using the Scorecarding process. The structured approach helped align the team’s requirements, and using the 6S Process, the team successfully identified a suitable candidate within the agreed timeframe. Firetrace was please with the outcome highlighting the team’s exceptional job in presenting a strong initial candidate pool. The new VP of Marketing is settling in well and the Firetrace team have engaged Solutions Driven in
another key recruiting process.

“The proof is that we’ve already turned around and started our second recruitment using Solutions Driven.”
