High competition, lack of information, saturated market, and homogenous pool of candidates incorporate challenges that hiring managers face in engineering services. A survey conducted by Indeed found that 86% of hiring managers and recruiters believe it’s challenging to find and hire engineering services candidates.

It is incredibly disappointing when an engineering candidate declines your offer after putting time and effort into interviewing them. Unfortunately, this is often the case in today’s competitive market

Recruitment Challenges Faced by This Industry:

Lengthy Hiring Process
With rapid changes in work culture and customer needs, finding engineering services candidates is becoming more complex. Moreover, hiring for an engineering resource takes an average of 66 days which is more than the usual hiring process. According to iCIMS, only six positions are filled for every ten open positions, further complicating the hiring process and taking longer than usual.
Despite the increasing number of applicants for open positions, these are a few top reasons for the engineering services shortage.
Lack of advanced skill: Employees are reluctant to upscale their work skills.
Gender gap: In any industry, out of 28% of all engineering services graduates, only 24% of women are hired.
Lack of Qualified Candidates: It is difficult for companies to find qualified engineering applicants.
Lack of knowledge about new technology & lack of safety & quality are also the concerns in the industry.
Ultimately, in this fast-paced hiring environment, it is a real struggle for some companies to find the employees that they need.
