Background

A leading company in the energy sector embarked on a significant, multi-year project that demanded a substantial increase in their instructional design capacity. The company, a major player in oil and gas, needed to quickly onboard a team of skilled Instructional Designers to ensure the project’s successful execution and timely completion. This initiative was crucial to the company’s strategic objectives, requiring a partner capable of delivering high-quality talent in a consistent and reliable manner.  

Key Challenges

The energy company faced a critical staffing challenge:

  • Need for specialized skills: The project necessitated Instructional Designers with specific experience in the oil and gas industry. This requirement added a layer of complexity to the recruitment process, as finding candidates with both instructional design expertise and industry knowledge was a significant hurdle.  
  • Demand for local, on-site talent: The company needed these Instructional Designers to be based in the Houston area and work on-site. This limited their candidate pool and increased the difficulty of sourcing suitable professionals. 
  • Long-term staffing requirement: The project was not a short-term endeavor; the company needed to secure talent for an extended period, with work expected to continue for several years. This required a staffing partner capable of providing ongoing support and delivering consistent results over time. 

Solution

Ingenuiti provided a tailored staffing solution to meet the energy company’s specific needs:

  • Strategic talent sourcing: Ingenuiti leveraged its expertise in talent acquisition to identify and engage Instructional Designers who possessed the precise skills and experience required. This included a focus on candidates with a background in the oil and gas sector, ensuring they could quickly integrate into the project and understand the industry-specific context.  
  • Focus on local expertise: Ingenuiti concentrated its search efforts on the Houston area to fulfill the company’s requirement for local, on-site talent. This demonstrated a commitment to understanding and meeting the client’s specific logistical needs.  
  • Provision of readily available candidates: Ingenuiti focused on sourcing Instructional Designers who were available for immediate placement, enabling the energy company to quickly onboard the necessary resources and maintain project momentum.  

Results

Ingenuiti’s targeted staffing solution delivered significant and sustained benefits:

  • Successful long-term placement: The first Instructional Designer placed by Ingenuiti not only met but exceeded the energy company’s expectations. This individual became a valuable asset and contributed significantly to the project’s ongoing success, and was moved into a team lead role. 
  • Ongoing partnership and multiple placements: The energy company was highly satisfied with the quality of the talent provided by Ingenuiti. This led to a strong, ongoing partnership, with Ingenuiti successfully placing several more local Instructional Designers with the company. 
  • Ensured project continuity and success: By providing a reliable source of skilled Instructional Designers, Ingenuiti enabled the energy company to maintain consistent progress on its large-scale project. This ensured the project remained on track and achieved its objectives.
