THE COMPANY

MCS Ltd offers root-cause failure analysis and product development support using materials science.

They work in many sectors including electronics, aerospace,
defence, oil & gas, medical, and automotive. Here, they help customers to understand the cause of failures (or identify product improvements) and implement appropriate solutions.

MCS were looking to hire a new Project Manager Lead for their busy team.

THE CHALLENGE

During Covid, MCS had naturally lost some employees, and a team member had recently left. This meant they had a gap for a
new employee.

This was a key role for MCS. Their Project Manager Lead guides clients from one end of the process to the other, and recent changes gave them the opportunity to look for a slightly different candidate profile to their usual ones.

THE SOLUTION

“What I really appreciated was that no one just agreed with me, they challenged me in a positive
way to understand where my concerns were and help me connect the dots.”

MCS’s COO, Suzanne, previously engaged with Solutions Driven, reached out for a critical hiring need. After an initial scoping call to align requirements, the team searched for candidates. Because of initial doubts, the Solutions Driven team positively challenged and assisted Suzanne’s decision-making. As a result, a candidate initially overlooked became their topo choice. Eventually, this candidate was successfully hired for the Project Manager Lead role at MCS.

“I would definitely recommend Solutions Driven. You have made a real change to the way we think about recruiting – and that’s really important.”
