Here at Engineered Connections, we take great satisfaction in the fact that we have not only kept up with but also changed, the engineering recruitment scene in the United Kingdom. Successfully navigating industry-wide issues is at the heart of our approach, which is based on strong support systems and deliberate mentoring. Let me tell you how we’re making an impact:
Corporate Mentoring Initiatives
We get that many candidates find the prospect of moving into more complicated engineering positions intimidating. In response, we’ve established a robust mentorship program to link seasoned engineers with fresh talent. This program helps our new hires advance in their careers while also shortening the onboarding process. As an example, in a recent partnership with a big car maker, we mentored teams with senior engineers, which drastically cut down on ramp-up time and improved project delivery efficiency.
Assisting with Individualized Instruction
We tailor our training sessions to meet the demands of individual engineering specializations by analyzing current skill sets and project specifications. These solutions are custom-made after extensive interaction with our client organizations; thus they are not generic. As an illustration, we collaborated with a prominent aerospace company to develop a precision engineering training package that greatly improved operating safety and accuracy.
Fresh Approaches to Hiring
It takes creative problem-solving to compete for top talent in today’s market. Not only do we find the top applicants, but we also make sure they are a great match for our corporate culture by combining human-centric hiring practices with modern data analytics. We helped a renewable energy business quickly scale up their skills by filling essential positions through proactive scouting and engagement techniques.
Improving the Image of Employers
If you want to recruit top talent, you need a solid employer brand. In order to highlight our clients’ dedication to innovation and staff development, we collaborate closely with them. We bring attention to their initiatives, work environment, and possibilities for advancement through strategic campaigns and narratives.
A mid-sized engineering firm saw a 20% uptick in quality applications after implementing this strategy, which helped them raise their market awareness.
Looking at Work-Life Balance
We support more adaptable work schedules because we know that the dynamics of the workplace have changed, especially in the wake of the pandemic. We help businesses create rules that encourage employees to work remotely, have flexible hours, and have a good work-life balance. A civil engineering firm that followed our advice saw an increase in both employee happiness and retention rates as a result of our programs.
