How to Hire Top Talent in Today’s Labor Market with or without Outsourcing Recruitment

Most of the industries we rely on to power our homes, develop and maintain our technology, and manage our health depend on the talents of engineers.  Not surprisingly, the more entwined our lives become with technology, the greater the demand for the unique innovative ability engineers bring to the table.  By 2024, our economy will add 65,000 new engineering jobs at an overall growth rate of 4%.  And for highly specialized jobs like biomedical engineers and environmental engineers, that growth rate is expected to climb even higher (23.1% and 12.4% respectively).

That's both good news and bad news for recruiters.  The good news is that the economy is healthy and companies are expanding. The bad news is that there aren’t enough engineers to fill those open positions.

The truth is that many companies - big and small - simply don’t have the time or resources to find top engineering candidates in today’s aggressive recruiting and hiring environment. That’s why you need a partner who is committed to your success. Enter outsource recruitment.
