The Engineering Recruitment Industry – what's on offer?

 

A competitive job market raises the bar for employers both in terms of sourcing and securing the right engineering professionals as well as retaining valuable employees. Unfortunately the associated demand for engineer recruiting services has had a disturbing effect on engineering employment outcomes delivered by outsourced HR consulting services. There is a widening gap between available service levels in the engineering recruitment industry and clients’ actual needs to support an effective and targeted recruitment process.

 

Much of the engineering recruitment industry has become a slave to a “bums-on-seats” mentality. Problems associated with this trend, such as those listed below, drive up engineering employment costs and place significant impediments on effective HR management.

 

• Aggressive sourcing and referral tactics encourages inappropriate behaviour among those seeking engineering jobs who succumb to recruiters that often lack experience and integrity in a recruitment industry driven by opportunism. This in turn fuels salary inflation and often leads to a lack of commitment and sincerity among engineering job applicants.
• There is a proliferation of large on-line databases made up of candidates solicited in the absence of a formal selection process. Candidates tend to be poorly assessed (if at all) and inappropriately categorised. Clients end up consuming their own valuable resources sifting through piles of resumes. Duplication of candidates referred by different agents is also a common problem.
• In their endeavour to search engineers, recruiters are accessing the same diminished pool of talent and have little incentive to lift service levels beyond simply passing on poorly assessed resumes to maximise their chance of getting a candidate across the line first. They are also likely to take advantage of the situation by charging inflated placement fees and driving up engineering recruitment costs.
• When demand for engineering employment wanes there is a tendency for HR consulting services to diversify or move into other industries and / or professions watering down their longer term effectiveness in recruiting engineers.

Search engineers through our skills network

 

Traditional engineering recruitment methods often fail to attract the competencies required for a high performance culture. Engaging superior talent requires ongoing, persistent and constructive engagement of engineering professionals, and JSM Appointments invests a significant amount of time and effort on developing enduring professional relationships with current and potential engineering job applicants. We offer prospective applicants an insight into the scope and nature of our clients’ skill requirements as well as developing trends in the industry.

 

Attracted by our personalised approach and industry knowledge, our network of highly skilled engineering professionals enjoys an open and productive relationship with us and they know they will be treated with respect, integrity and individual attention. This means that despite our rigorous assessment process and thorough interviewing techniques our professional engineer network has grown by reputation and we have been overwhelmed by the willingness of candidates to introduce us to other likeminded engineering professionals.

 

Our clients benefit from this proactive approach to engineer recruiting whereby we are able to align their strategies, succession plans and upcoming skill requirements with the ambitions, needs and career plans of various engineering professionals. In other words we have a unique ability to identify suitable candidates before they have actually entered the job market.

 

JSM Appointments has developed a reputation of being able to source and refer highly sought after skills in a tight engineering employment market thanks to our superior understanding of the four main classifications that reflect an engineering career. We know how to search engineers, categorise and select relevant key competencies in terms of occupational category, engineering discipline, job function and industry experience.

 

Full search, selection and referral service

 

Knowledge on how and where to search engineers and attract the best skills enables us to assist organisations to optimise their human resources through the search, selection and referral of quality engineering professionals. Where necessary we will work together with the HR department and/or line managers to assist in developing the scope for specific engineering recruiting assignments.

 

We can get involved in site visits, local or overseas interviewing sessions, as well as provide training and coaching on topics such as behavioural event interviewing. In short we will structure our HR consulting services to your requirements and ensure that we provide optimum engineering recruitment solutions.

 

Our methodology is thorough and professional. Going to great lengths to understanding a client's requirements, we search engineers against appropriate job specifications and relevant selection criteria. Our referred engineering professionals are fully interviewed and evaluated and we employ competency-based behavioural interview techniques to ensure superior outcomes.

 

We undertake to conduct a minimum of two detailed reference checks on all candidates prior to any offer of employment.

Recruiting Engineers from abroad

 

JSM Appointments offers combined local and overseas industry exposure, as well as recent overseas engineering recruitment experience to assist companies through any or all of the stages of a successful international recruitment campaign.

 

With the benefit of our knowledge and experience abroad we can source high quality Expatriate and Migrant Engineering Professionals from countries such as South Africa and the United Kingdom. We take extra care to search engineers and refer candidates that not only meet the required selection criteria, but are also sincere in their commitment to live and work in Australia. With our personal experience as migrants to Australia we assist applicants and facilitate the selection process by paying particular attention to cultural differences and resettlement issues. Relocation and migration visa/work permit assistance can be arranged through our network of associates.
