Hiring the right employees is critical
for any organization, but it is especially important for professionals
in the engineering industry. We have some improvements you can make to your technical hiring process.
Reach Out to Us!
AList is here for your technical staffing needs. At AList, we take customer service seriously and will provide an unmatched personal approach to your technical hiring process. Let us be your resource for finding the top technical talent.
There are many general job boards out there (e.g., LinkedIn, Indeed, Ziprecruiter), but these may not be the best places to find qualified candidates for engineering and technical positions. While AList does use these websites, sometimes the jobs candidates are looking for are lost in the ever-growing sea of open positions. Try utilizing our industry-specific job board that caters to your field to get your open position seen and filled. We even have a section for candidates to submit their resumes if they can’t find the specific job they are looking for.
Utilizing Social Media
Social media can be a great way to reach out to potential. Try using hashtags to search for relevant candidates on Twitter or LinkedIn. For example, if you’re looking for an engineer, you could utilize the hashtags #engineeringjobs or #engineeringcareers. You’d be
surprised how helpful a resource social media can be, especially when trying to connect with those in your industry.
Utilizing Employee Referrals
Chances are you have a network of employees who can help you find qualified candidates for your open positions. Ask your employees if they know anyone who might be interested in the position, and offer a referral bonus if they refer someone who ends up getting hired. This is a great way not only to fill your open positions but also show your employees that you value their opinion and are willing to reward them for their help.
Things to Consider
What’s the scope of the project? Engineering projects can vary significantly in scope, from small localized projects to large-scale endeavors. The size of the project will help determine the number of engineers needed, as well as the skill set required.
Something to consider is the timeline of the project. Engineering projects can also vary profoundly in terms of their timeline. Some projects may need to be completed within a matter of months, while others may span several years. It is vital to have a clear understanding of the timeline of the project before starting the hiring process. This will ensure that you are only considering candidates who are available to work on the project for its entirety. Another thing to take into account is the budget for the project. Engineering projects can be very expensive, so it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the budget before starting the hiring process.
The next consideration is the type of engineer needed. There are many different types of engineers, each with its own area of expertise. For example, some engineers specialize in mechanical engineering, while others may specialize in electrical engineering or civil engineering. It’s essential to identify the specific type of engineer needed for the project at hand.
Use Technology to your Advantage
One of the easiest ways to find candidates is to post job listings online. It is key to have a clear understanding of the scope of the project before starting the hiring process. This will ensure that you are only considering candidates who have the necessary skills and experience to be successful on the project.
