Manufacturing recruitment agencies: How can they help?

Ever since the dawn of time manufacturing recruitment agencies have offered companies in the engineering sector peace of mind. The first part of that intro may be exaggerated but the second bit couldn’t be more accurate. Taking on a new start who isn’t the right fit has a domino effect of negative impacts on your business.

Firstly, you’ll be spending time and money on advertising. Followed by some of your staff having to move away from important tasks to filter applications, make phone calls and arrange interviews. Imagine all of this going to waste and keep in mind this is just the start of a downhill spiral of resources going to waste.

When the “wrong fit” finally starts working for your company they may not perform, they could be great for the job but not fit on a cultural level and walk within weeks. Discovering this too late will send you back to square one and could cost a pretty penny along the way! Especially if mistakes are made resulting in damage to stock, machinery and tools.

Manufacturing recruitment agencies to the rescue!

A reputable manufacturing recruitment agency will understand your business and most importantly the roles you wish to fill. This will be accompanied by great knowledge of your locality, target market for candidates and the experience levels required from them to become a key part of your business.

Where you may be hiring new manufacturing staff every now and then, we are going through the process on a daily basis. The process is broken down into the following steps:

• Establish your business’ hiring needs & discuss any vacancies.
• Take details of timeframes, salary offered, job description(s), benefits and more.
• A reputable consultant then conducts a search combining modern and traditional recruitment methods.
• They will then filter and narrow down the best CVs & candidate profiles in order to call and discuss your role(s).
• Discussions with candidates involve pitching your business, your roles and negotiating terms to suit both parties. They also include finding motives for moving on to a new role, personality based questions to see if they’re a fit for your business and more.
• The most suitable candidates for your business will be put forward to your hiring department then shortlisted for interview.
• A recruitment consultant will then arrange the interview date and time between the candidate and the company whilst tracking the candidate’s progress along the way.
• Once the ideal candidate has been chosen the consultant will inform them and determine the ideal start date. This call or meeting is always accompanied by a big congratulations!
