Survey: What makes a top engineering employer? Have your say. It would be great to pass on some real insight - What benefits and qualities do you look for when searching for a new job? What factors would prompt you to consider moving to another company? #UK #Engineering #employment #recruitment

It's normal for a candidate to have a bit of anxiety about an interview, but remember, you are interviewing them as well. The typical questions revolve around job duties, projects, compensation, and benefits. Equally as important are the intangibles, things that cannot be seen or touched. These were of utmost importance when I was applying for a new position.   ·        Reputation: does this company align with your values? Is it known for excellent work? ·        Flexibility: do they allow you to switch up your day in the event of an outside appointment? ·        Respect: does this company create an atmosphere of respect from the top down? ·        Mentorship: will you be able to learn from the best and brightest to further your career? ·        Security: is this an established company that’s growth has been steady, and management has a deep understanding of the economy as it relates to their business? ·        Ethical: do they treat everyone honestly and do the right thing even when no one is watching?   To all of my civil engineer friends, here at Hoyle Tanner, intangibles are reality! #HoyleTanner #CivilEngineeringJobs #WastewaterJobs #DrinkingWaterJobs #TransportationJobs #AviationJobs #SurveyingJobs

Hiring the right skilled labor continues to be a huge challenge in the construction industry. Here are some tips for better recruitment and retention: • Get specific with tailored construction job descriptions rather than generic listings. • Ask current employees for referrals of former colleagues. They can vouch for their skills. • Establish an employee value proposition that sells your workplace culture and benefits. • Partner with local vocational schools and training programs as a recruiting pipeline. • Offer apprenticeship programs to help young workers gain experience. • Provide competitive compensation packages including healthcare, retirement, etc. • Foster career growth opportunities through mentorship and advancement paths. • Check references thoroughly while also evaluating attitude/fit during interviews. • Have a thorough onboarding and training program to set new hires up for success. With a bit of strategy, you can identify and keep the best construction talent available. Let me know if you need any other hiring advice! #smallbusiness #construction

Just had a client end up with 2 job offers! Let's break down some of the things they did that made a difference! 1️⃣ The first thing that really helped was starting with strategy and clarity. We knew what kind of roles we were applying for, and what they were qualified to do. 2️⃣ We maximized their LinkedIn, resume, and other supporting branding tools. Clean headshot, great profile, achiever resume, and several other documents. 3️⃣ Networking, networking, networking! We went and talked with plenty of people. At first, they didn't know what to say or who to say it to! But with a little practice and guidance, we built a good network. 4️⃣ Serious interview prep. We ran mock interviews, prepared for commonly asked questions, strategies for different kinds of questions, and what the hiring manager wanted in each of these situations. 5️⃣ Continuously showing up. We didn't get all the jobs we went after. Sometimes it was hard, and things didn't work out! Shoutout to all the hard work that was done, and congrats on being able to pick the job you want from these two! Wish this post was about you? Are you an early career mechanical or electrical engineer? You can apply to work with me, link in the comments!

Job ghosting can have significant implications for job seekers. As a graduate civil engineer, I've faced the challenge of applying for positions, attending interviews, and then experiencing complete silence. This lack of communication disrupts career planning, creates uncertainty, and can be demoralizing. Clear and timely feedback in the hiring process is crucial to maintain a positive experience for all parties involved. #JobGhosting #Professionalism #JobSearch #Engineering
