The Benefits

Of finding your engineering & related staff through us:

• We connect you with more and better quality candidates (Our strong networking activity, combined with continual targeted advertising gives us a reliable source of suitable candidates)
• We maintain consistent communication with you & potential candidates, maximising the chances of a successful outcome
• We act as the medium in any negotiations of the Offer
• We can assist maintaining open communication channels in those crucial first months of employment

The main obstacles for Employers finding the best Candidates themselves are:

• TIMING – In a candidate short market, the chances of attracting the desired candidate from one advertising campaign is rather remote, and even more unlikely if the skill requirements are specific as they often are with Technical roles. Good candidates are usually busy, they don’t have the time to continually search for job opportunities.

• DILUTED ADVERTISING – Due to comparatively low cost, the Internet Job Boards, that now account for the vast majority of Job Seeker Activity, are very highly populated with ads. Most of these are Recruitment Agency Ads designed to boost their databases. This has 2 negative effects, one being that as an Employer, any advertising you place is at risk of becoming significantly diluted due to the sheer quantity of ads around it, the other being that good Candidates are becoming disillusioned by the enormity of the quantity and sometimes questionable quality of the advertising. These findings are based on feedback that we continually get from our Applicants.

• BUSY SCHEDULES – A lot of employers do not employ dedicated Recruitment Officers, and therefore the task of recruiting is usually passed on to somebody in Middle Management, who already has an extremely busy schedule. So Advertising response, Interview Scheduling, Reference Checking and Offer Negotiations in a timely manner are near to impossible. As a result, good candidates can get disillusioned and lose interest, or get snapped up elsewhere.
