The benefits of an agency for engineering and construction recruitment

When looking to fill a vacancy, particularly when it comes to engineering and construction recruitment, everybody wants the best staff possible. Finding the perfect mix of experience and enthusiasm, as well as a personality that fits with the rest of the team and workplace as a whole are all incredibly important. Unfortunately, these things can be hard to gauge from the interview process alone.

Using an experienced engineering and construction recruitment agency such as Construction and Technical Solutions to assist can make this process far easier and more stress free. Here are five key benefits to using an agency next time you’re looking to recruit.

Taking the work off your plate

To do lists are always long and ever expanding. If you’re busy, have deadlines to meet or your inbox is filling up fast, you probably don’t have time to be posting job ads, shortlisting candidates, organising and conducting interviews and completing new staff training and inductions. And these days, hiring is taking longer and longer.

When using a recruitment agency for help, you can offload some of this work to experts in the field who already have a list of talented people seeking employment. Construction and Technical Solutions are connected to a wide pool of job seekers and have a track record of matching the right people to the right job. This includes screening and interviewing the people in our database before recommending them anywhere – taking another task off your to do list.

Partnering with experience

For most roles in engineering and construction, you want to be hiring someone with prior experience in a similar role. Equally, you want the person in charge of the application and hiring process to be experienced in their role, helping you to find the best staff for your company.

This extends as far as your recruitment agency. It is crucial that you partner with an experienced and reliable agency that can provide the right staffing options for you. Construction and Technical Solutions have years of experience recruiting in Adelaide and beyond, priding ourselves on matching candidates to well suited roles and helping organisations thrive. This experience is a key benefit to using an agency such as Construction and Technical Solutions when you’re looking to hire.

Being well connected

There are a lot of different ways to both seek and advertise work in the modern age. Websites such as SEEK and Indeed, as well as professional social media platforms such as LinkedIn are just some of the ways to canvas potential applicants for your vacancy. However, if you advertise your vacancy yourself, you run the risk of it getting lost in a sea of other job ads. With nearly 200 000 job ads in Australia every month out there, it can be a noisy place. Engaging the help of a recruitment agency ensures access to a pool of potential employees and that your vacancy will be seen by the people you need.

Flexible and progressive

Different businesses and different industries, operate on different schedules. In 2021, it is more important than ever before to be flexible and forward thinking in business. Not all offices are open at 8:59 and closed at 5:01, especially in the current age of working remotely and conducting meetings online.

As such, when partnering with a recruitment agency, you need to be working with one flexible and progressive enough to rise to the challenges that come with finding the right talent in the current climate. With Construction and Technical Solutions, you can expect a consistent point of contact with flexible availability, not restricted to working from nine to five. The world keeps moving after five o’clock, there’s no reason why your staffing solutions shouldn’t be able to as well.

Fast acting

Life moves fast. This is true in countless aspects of our everyday lives – losing track of the week and being stunned when someone says ‘only two months to Christmas!’ are prime examples of this. Business moves just as fast (and sometimes faster). Staffing needs can arise with no warning and solutions often need solving as fast as possible.
