Talentscale

Many aviation companies hire military personnel transitioning to civilian life as their discipline, sense of teamwork, and other job skills make them ideal candidates. Talentscale uniquely positions itself in the aviation industry by aligning qualified veterans within the military aircraft maintenance, repair, modification and logistics domain. Talentscale employs a range of skilled technical professionals, nearly all with military backgrounds.

Talentscale is a veteran-owned small business providing Staff augmentation support services to the DoD aviation/ aerospace industries in support of aircraft integration, MRO, CLS and ILS contracts. It has successfully recruited veterans in 1,000’s of niche job positions across the US and its national team of recruiters has a vast candidate database of qualified personnel who are thoroughly screened.

“95% of the folks we have hired for our Customers have been Veterans with Retention rates exceeding 75%. Due to this, we received a gold medal from the HIRE Vets Medallion Program in 2022, the only federal-level veterans’ employment award recognizing a company for hiring veterans,” says Doug Poldrugo, founder and CEO of Talentscale.

Talentscale works with companies in various industries to find employment opportunities for Veterans with Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing experience. Our Veterans have Modified and performed heavy maintenance on everything from the C-130 Hercules to the F-16 Falcon to the King Air to the H-60 Blackhawk.

Veterans with this experience possess valuable skills and expertise that can be useful in various industries. Talentscale effectively helps employers from aviation, defense, and engineering domains connect with these skilled veterans.

The company also has an onsite staffing solution for clients requiring a large number of contingent staff for production operations. It assigns a qualified onsite program coordinator at a client’s facility and assists their management to work with their HR and production leadership. The program takes charge of many responsibilities associated with managing contingent employees, enabling them, and simplifying the staffing process. The dedicated recruiting resource results in faster response and resolution of issues, stronger partnerships through regular collaboration, and improved candidate selection.

“We have a tenured team knowledgeable about industry trends and have access to a wide network of professionals, which facilitates them to support the massive hiring efforts of national and global businesses despite talent market challenges,” states Steve Ricker, vice president at Talentscale.

Wage inflation is one of these challenges. It has made hiring and retaining skilled workers more challenging in high-demand industries like aviation. Talentscale faced similar challenges when the demand for workers exceeded the available supply, leading to rising wages and salaries. To combat this, the company offered competitive salaries and employee benefits to identify, attract, and retain top talent while working closely with clients to provide staffing solutions that addressed unique market demands. By adjusting its pricing, the revenue rate tripled within a year. In one instance, Talentscale’s successful C-130 program for a large prime integrator ensured placement of more than 50 veterans.

Talentscale’s business development team also consults with their partners in dealing with market dynamics. They will share market data & historical trends to build on their relationships, seeking feedback, ensuring the highest levels of customer service, and driving an intentional recruitment strategy, creating overall growth..

Driven by a team with extensive human capital management expertise and military backgrounds, Talentscale has built a reputation for quality, accountability, and execution.
