Frequently asked questions

How do I hire a relay engineer quickly?

Narrow the search to the platform and voltage class you run, and ask for settings packages and end-to-end tests the candidate personally owned. A PE and NERC PRC experience, including PRC-029 for inverter-based resources, widen the pool you can use.

What is a conflict check?

Before we share an identified candidate, we confirm they don't currently work for your company or its affiliates, and we ask the candidate about anything, such as a notice period or an agreement with a current employer, that could affect the timing of a move. We don't agree with any employer to avoid recruiting another employer's people, and we never share one client's pay data with another.
