Accelerating Innovation with Specialized Talent
A global EV manufacturer expanding its in-house battery research unit struggled to hire niche technical experts in electrochemistry, solid-state battery design, and embedded systems. The conventional recruitment process failed to attract, engage, or convert specialized talent within required timelines.
TalentDeel deployed its deep-tech hiring pods—a focused model combining domain-expert recruiters, calibrated JD frameworks, and real-time market mapping. This initiative not only tripled the hiring velocity but also ensured long-term talent stickiness through precise role-fitment.
Our Approach
We designed a domain-centric hiring pod to exclusively focus on advanced battery roles, eliminating generic processes and delays.
Domain-Specific Hiring Pods
Built a pod with recruiters trained in electrochemical R&D and battery systems to reduce learning curves and engage candidates meaningfully.
Live Market Mapping
Created a talent intelligence dashboard to continuously monitor availability, compensation, and interest across research geographies.
Role Fitment Calibration
Collaborated with hiring managers to refine JDs and screening processes, ensuring that shortlisted candidates were interview-ready.
The Results
3x Faster Closure
Critical battery roles filled 3x faster than baseline.
85% First-Round Selects
Most profiles passed the initial technical screening.
Zero Offer Dropouts
All selected candidates joined on schedule.
30-Day Pod Ramp-Up
Pods became productive within the first month.
Specialized Talent Demands Specialized Hiring Strategy
For high-impact R&D teams, generic hiring fails. Building domain-aligned pods ensures speed, accuracy, and higher candidate conversion.
“TalentDeel’s R&D hiring pods felt like an extension of our internal team—fast, focused, and technically competent.”
