Cost Saving Benefits of FEA – How Using FEA Can Reduce Costs and Increase Performance
March 9, 2021Enser’s founder Mario Arnone passed away at the age of 87
September 13, 2021As the economy continues to gain steam, baby boomers retire, unemployment rates fall, and pandemic uncertainties remain, ENSER has never seen a more challenging market for job recruiting.
The positions our customers need to fill today are increasingly more complex, with small talent pools of qualified candidates with many candidates in the senior level over 55 years of age. Roughly 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 today, and about 10,000 more will cross that threshold every day for the next 19 years.
Candidates can often have several opportunities at the ready, which makes staffing that much more difficult. With qualified candidates available one day and employed the next, it is imperative that your staff and managers understand this challenge and move quickly through the hiring process.
Temporary and Contract Labor has become a standard business process and a popular solution to hiring 20% to 30% of the workforce in the U.S. today.
According to the McKinsey Global Institute, 42% of U.S. executives plan to hire more independent workers in the coming years, and some experts estimate independent workers will make up half of these hirings within a decade from now.
With Independent workers currently being 30% of the workforce and that number steadily increasing, it is fair to say that this trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future.
How does this tight labor market affect the engineering industry?
The tight supply of qualified candidates in the engineering industry requires hiring managers to adapt to new strategies and act very quickly to attain the candidates with top talent.
Many clients have implemented a one-day interview with clients making offers that same day to secure qualified talent. Other clients are having a hard time finding qualified candidates for their direct positions, so they have switched their focus to temp candidates with the option to hire after six months.
What are the advantages of this scenario?
- Test drive for employer and candidate to ensure a perfect fit
- Perfect match of candidate skill level – will hit the ground running
- Faster approvals from H.R.
In our 74 years of supporting the engineering industry, we have seen our clients shift their hiring strategies in response to this trend.
They have relied on our engineering background and expertise in selecting candidates from our pre-screened database. This focus and adaptability to trends affecting the engineering industry are critical to fulfilling engineering positions.
ENSER has worked hard over the years on perfecting our ability to provide our clients with the flexibility they need to meet their project demands, whether that be through a contractor, a contract-to-direct hire, a direct-hire, outsourced engineering services on a project basis, or even outsourced engineering support on a T&M basis.
