Engineering staffing agencies play a crucial role in helping organizations locate and hire best talents. This is because they have a focused approach to hiring and keep their eye and ears open to the latest trends and changes in the marketplace. Regardless of the type of employees you want to hire (temporary or permanent), here are the 5 best reasons to hire an engineering recruitment agency:

1. They have deep Knowledge of the Market
Engineering is a highly specialized industry that requires specialized knowledge and expertise. An engineering recruitment agency knows the pulse of the market and can give you an insight into its latest trends. They know how to locate the right talent, reach them, and judge their skill-set. Moreover, if you are struggling to find the right hiring solution, they can provide you alternative solutions.

2. They can help Raise the level of Hiring
The engineering staffing agencies have an extended reach to a vast talent pool. They have access to both active and passive candidates (candidates who are employed and not looking for a job). A good recruiter has an extensive network to reach the suitable candidates, skills, and experience. Many of these talents are actually out of the radar of your HR team.

3. They have time to Hone their Skills
Since the engineering recruitment agency focuses on a particular task (of finding suitable talent) they are constantly developing new ways to locate candidates. They have the necessary time to hone their searching skills. Though your hiring manager or your HR team has a similar role but since they have to take care of other aspects of managing HR of the company, they don’t have the time to invest in honing their searching skills and reach out to passive candidates.

4. They Understand the real needs of the job
Engineering staffing agencies are usually headed by industry experts who understand the real job needs as well as the needs of your company and hiring manager. Majority of the in-house hiring managers usually rely on the skills, experience and compensation package to filter candidates, thus eliminating the diverse variety of potential candidates from their consideration.

5. Hiring Staffing Agencies saves time and money
Majority of the companies do not have the time to conduct thorough research to find right candidates. Moreover, the entire hiring process, starting from job posting to filling the vacant post, is very time-consuming. With a hiring agency, the organization knows that they have already performed thorough research, thus cutting down the time required for hiring a candidate. This also saves money as the organization is only paying the agency fee, thus saving the additional cost of the hiring process.

A new quarterly report by Randstad Engineering has found that the Randstad Engineering Employee Confidence Index decreased compared to last quarter, the second consecutive decline. The company surveyed 146 engineers to measure their overall confidence in the engineering industry and discovered that more than half are worried about the economy and the availability of jobs.

Of the engineers surveyed, half believe there are fewer jobs available and therefore do not plan to look for a new job within the next 12 months. Their skepticism of the economy, domestic and abroad, appears to have shaken their confidence. However, this quarter showed an increase in a feeling of job security compared to the previous one.

Despite the decrease in confidence, the president of Randstad Engineering states that the engineering industry is projected to grow and hire faster than any other sector. Engineers are in high demand as less than 20 percent of college graduates with a B.S. in engineering actually going on to become licensed professionals.

With the hiring of engineers expected to grow, it is important to contact a trusted recruiting firm to find an engineering executive that can confidently and competently operate your business. Contact Construction Hunters at 214-989-6846 to learn more about how we can help you.
