Challenge

Del-Air faced urgent, high-volume hiring needs across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and support roles, compounded by a shortage of skilled trades talent. Internal recruiting processes were slow and inconsistent, and traditional hiring channels failed to produce a reliable pipeline—leading to staffing gaps, revenue constraints, and operational strain.
