Talent pod for modular UPS assembly.

Modular UPS demand required sustained manufacturing and quality hiring — met with a nine-month PER talent pod without expanding Eaton's internal TA team.

Eaton's modular UPS line was scaling assembly and quality faster than internal TA could recruit manufacturing engineering and production leadership. Permanent recruiter headcount was not approved; contingency alone had produced inconsistent quality of hire.

A two-recruiter PER pod ran for nine months, covering manufacturing engineering, quality and production leadership with shared KPIs and weekly hiring reviews.

Eleven hires landed across manufacturing and quality. Ramp targets were met for two consecutive quarters — the operational metric Eaton's plant leadership tracked.
