Background
- Industry: HVAC / Data Center Cooling
- Service: Technical Recruitment
- Country: Denmark
- Job profiles translated to Danish titles, educations and qualifications
- Candidates technically pre-assessed before CVs reached Trane
- Several technical and commercial positions filled within a few months
- Plant Supervision approved as Trane’s recruitment partner in Denmark
Trane, a strategic brand of Trane Technologies, a global climate innovator, is expanding its presence in Denmark by opening a direct sales and service channel. This move reinforces Trane’s presence in the Nordics building on Trane’s leadership in the data center space across Europe and globally. As Trane’s local recruitment partner in Denmark, Plant Supervision has helped Trane to recruit a team with several different technical and commercial profiles.
Challenge
Trane brings a vast experience in HVAC and data center cooling applications, and has well defined job descriptions for new hires. However, the roles had to be translated to the meet the Danish labour market specific needs: e.g. what the profiles are called in Denmark and which Danish qualifications and educations match them. Trane had a tight schedule for recruitments before the first order deliveries.

We had well-defined job profiles to serve the Danish HVAC markets. Together with Plant Supervision, we fine-tuned these roles to be suitable for the Danish labour market. Plant Supervision understood the technical side and commercial side of the roles, which made the cooperation easy.

Our solution
One project manager and a technical recruiter were assigned to the task from Plant Supervision’s side. Together with Trane Technologies’s hiring team, they drew up a plan for the hiring roles and defined the required experience and qualifications.
Plant Supervision identified candidates through their own network and selected recruitment channels. The recruiter handled the screening, and where needed, the project manager reviewed a candidate’s CV before Trane received it. Plant Supervision’s project managers have a technical background themselves enabling them to go into details about which systems and tasks a candidate has worked on.
“We differ from traditional recruitment agencies because our project managers have a strong technical background and experience. That is why we were able to staff an entire department in a relatively short time.”
Peter Junge
CSO, Plant Supervision
Trane decided which candidates to interview based on the CVs and Plant Supervision’s recommendation. The recruiter took part in the first interview together with the candidate and Trane, and depending on the position, a second and sometimes a third interview followed.
Results
Within a few months, Plant Supervision helped Trane to fill several technical and commercial positions.
Plant Supervision became an approved recruitment partner in Denmark to Trane Technologies, and the cooperation has continued. The partnership has been mutually beneficial. Through the recruitment process, Plant Supervision has got to know Trane’s hiring requirements and the skills they value.
We got the initial team in place within the tight deadlines and schedule we had. The candidates we met had already been pre-assessed technically, so the interviews could focus more on who would fit in to our team.
