Engineering and manufacturing are two industries often cited as the hardest to employ for. Engineers <\/span>still remain<\/span><\/a> on the UK skills shortage list, and manufacturing is forever undergoing so many technological advancements that unique abilities are sought after each and every day.<\/span><\/h2>\n

We ensure our placements are bespoke to your needs at Net-Recruit. Combining both applicant tracking software (ATS) and in-house expertise, we capture your brand and distil it in a way that resonates with those in engineering and marketing. So, if you\u2019re looking to do the same, here\u2019s our top three tips.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Sell yourself<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Recruiters will bombard senior engineers at every opportunity. If they wanted to leave their job immediately, there would be no shortage of vacancies available to them. Bear that in mind when you write job ads \u2013 lead with the benefits that make you different from everyone else when describing the role.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Be transparent as you do this. Don\u2019t overload your job ad with a list of company perks as a method of hiding the mundane day-to-day responsibilities. Those in manufacturing will want to understand the role in full (and what\u2019s in it for them) before they\u2019ll consider an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In addition, make sure every element of your advert enforces the image you wish to portray. This extends to the <\/span>job board<\/span><\/a> you\u2019re posting on; if they\u2019re industry-specific, this will imply a level of value.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Be in the right place at the right time<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Job boards aren\u2019t all the same. Not only will some members of your target audience not access <\/span>every <\/span><\/i>board, but some may view certain platforms as more worthy of their experience over others.<\/span><\/p>\n

      At Net-Recruit, for instance, we\u2019ll work with you to pinpoint the channels that are best accessed by your audience beforehand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      We\u2019ll then review every CV by hand to quicken the onboarding process and keep high-quality candidates engaged with your brand. Senior talent will drop out of your pipeline if you\u2019re not seen to be responsive, after all. We\u2019ll use <\/span>our Pipe\u2122 ATS software<\/span><\/a> to track, monitor and keep on top of things.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Throughout, we\u2019ll use your tone of voice as an indicator of office culture and filter out those who aren\u2019t a strong fit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Tighten your interviewing process<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Now you\u2019ve got the pool of candidates you had hoped for, you\u2019ll need an interview process that doesn\u2019t send applicants running the other way. Again, be quick in your decisions but also appear knowledgeable (and interested) in their experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Enquire about specialist skill sets and ask questions that are tailored to each specific interview as opposed to generic competency-based ones. This is also your chance to explain the tools and processes that may be unique to you, and how their role interacts with the wider business.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Measure a cultural fit all the while. Those in senior positions may need to manage a team or deal with suppliers, so be sure to get a gauge of their personality and how well they\u2019d work in your team.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Sound complicated? Well, we\u2019ve got just the solution. We understand that repeating this process again and again, throughout the growth of your organisation, could massively impede your development. So, we\u2019ve created a software that allows us to monitor your campaigns in real time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        We complement this with <\/span>a human touch<\/span><\/a> \u2013 creating ads that resonate and even conducting telephone screening if you need it. <\/span>Simply <\/span>get in touch today<\/span><\/a>. A member of our team will guide you through the process and demonstrate how we can help you put people first.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
