A leading automation systems company faced challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified field engineers. Nesco Resource had worked with this company for a few years to recruit internal automation techs.  After acquiring two additional companies their needs grew and the organization required 30 field engineers nationwide but struggled to find suitable candidates, especially in remote areas. The existing job descriptions did not accurately reflect the role requirements, causing inefficiencies in the hiring process.
