RAPIDLY BUILDING A SPECIALIZED DRONE OPERATIONS TEAM FOR A GOVERNMENT CONTRACT

When a high-tech security services organization secured a government contract requiring a brand-new drone operations team, speed and specialization were critical. Atrium partnered closely with the client to design and execute a targeted recruiting strategy, delivering fully qualified talent and enabling an on-time program launch.

the challenge

A hightech security services organization won a government contract that required the rapid creation of a new drone operations department. The roles, including Director of Drone Operations and certified Drone Pilots, were highly specialized and required specific licensing, flight hours, and public-sector experience. The internal hiring team had no prior experience recruiting for these profiles and needed immediate support to meet contract timelines.

the solution

Building on Atrium’s prior success helping the client scale specialized customer service roles, Atrium stepped in to design a custom recruiting approach. A dedicated sourcing team was established to manage a multistep interview process and partner closely with stakeholders to keep hiring on track. The program included:
