Engineering Recruitment

Winning the Right Talent When It’s Scarce

Engineering skill is critical to virtually every industry, affecting operations, innovation, and business growth no matter the products you make or services you provide. Like every industry today, it is ever changing, and because the need is so great for talented engineers, the field has a particularly optimistic future. That creates a highly competitive and complex job market—and an ongoing shortage of both specialized and generalist engineering talent to meet the demand.

Engineering recruitment is unique and often more challenging for several reasons. In addition to ensuring the right cultural fit and navigating the new virtual work modes critical to jobs in every industry, we understand that engineering requires:

• Training in a multitude of disciplines that can include electrical and software engineering, materials science, chemistry, and physics, or a hybrid.
• Keeping up with the latest technologies as well as maintaining skills in old technologies still in use.
• Ensuring specific technical skills and up-to-date certifications.
• Typically longer hiring cycle because of all of the above.

Despite the challenges and obstacles, many engineering companies are clinging to the “post and pray” environment, where they place an ad when they have an opening and hope the right person applies in time. It goes without saying: these companies are failing to get the top talent they need to succeed. TalenTrust’s innovative and proven recruitment model creates an entirely different story for engineering companies.
