Building An Employment Brand From The Top Down!

Posted by:

Whether you have struggled to retain or attract talent to your organization, you understand the role that your competitors play in your recruitment strategies. Whether their employment brand is strengthened by fringe benefits or a flexible work schedule, maintaining a competitive edge can be critical to obtaining and retaining the top talent in your industry.

As employment branding has gained popularity in the recent years, many organizations are finding that their time and investments in building a positive employment brand can crumble if unsupported by the organization as a whole. Advertising that your company offers a fun and exciting work environment may assist you in attracting talent however, if the talent you attract is truly seeking that type of environment and finds that isn’t what you offer in the long run your struggle will turn from a recruitment to a retention struggle.

In order to build a lasting employment brand that is true to your organization, you have to start at the top. Involving your owners and leaders down to your entry level employees will help provide you with a well rounded idea of who you are as an organization and where you are going. Those who lead strongly by example are often the best at helping you build an employment brand and work environment that you can be proud of. Consider assembling a team of brand ambassadors who feel passionate about their workplace. A team collaboration can give you a strong idea of why people value working for the organization, a team to bounce ideas off of, and a group to help push your brand consistently.

Are Your Industrial Cleaning Projects Facing Setbacks?

Posted by:

Are your industrial cleaning projects facing set backs on budget, deadlines, and efficiency? The cause may be your manpower. Hiring unqualified and undependable staff for even entry level positions such as Hydro Blasters, Industrial Laborers, Industrial Cleaners, and Vac Truck Operators can have a detrimental effect on your bottom line and your rapport with clients.

Construction

While some of the duties required for these roles are entry level, the training and qualifying of candidates for these roles is more in depth than many non-specialized staffing agencies are familiar with. Hiring staff that hold OSHA 40, Hazwoper, Respirator Fit, and safety certifications requires more time and qualifying than traditional general laborers.

Your clients expect you to uphold rigorous outage schedules with thorough results; requiring qualified and experienced industrial labor. Partnering with an experienced industrial staffing agency, can provide you with qualified staff, training, and even transporting of candidates to larger job sites.

Recruiting IT and Engineering Candidates

Posted by:

What has a shorter shelf life than a package of Oreos at an elementary school? A strong IT or Engineering candidate. The continuously growing demand for experienced and progressive IT and Engineering professionals has put a significant strain on hiring managers across the nation.

The progressive growth in the technology field will continue to boost career opportunities, experts predict for the next several years. With changes in machining innovation and design, Engineers from internship level through management are also sparse on job boards.

Where does this leave you as hiring manager? In a proactive role. An active candidate with a background in IT or Engineering can be in and out of the job market in less than a week! In cities such as Detroit, candidates are entertaining multiple offers at once, making the job offer package a tight competition for talent. So how do you compete? Simple. Attract the passive candidates.

Passive candidates traditionally are at least fairly happy with their current employer and are not likely to be “job hoppers”. It still takes the right compensation and benefits package to attract these candidates, but retaining them may be easier than a candidate who knows that they have several other opportunities. Creating a strong employment brand, a positive and progressive work environment, and offering flexibility will help attract passive candidates to your organization. Referrals will likely account for the largest portion of passive candidates that you receive, if you work your existing network well. Consider offering referral bonuses to current employees or partnering with an industry specialized Recruiter for access to their book of passive candidates.

Heavy Industrial Staffing: Finding An Industrial Staffing Agency

Posted by:

Have you tried unsuccessfully to partner with traditional staffing agencies for your heavy industrial staffing needs? There are several factors that set heavy industrial staffing agencies apart from traditional staffing agencies.

shutterstock_51659 4592Resized

Many light industrial staffing agencies recruit for positions such as welders, fabricators, and other semi-skilled positions. The majority of these positions are light in nature and require far less training and experience than skilled trades positions. Hiring unskilled workers for heavy industrial positions such as pipe fitters, pipe welders, industrial electricians, combo welders, and millwrights could result in losses and damages in the tens of thousands of dollars in as quickly as one day on the job. In addition to damaged materials, equipment, and loss of production, unskilled workers performing heavy industrial jobs are more likely to get injured on the job.

The processes, tools, and equipment involved in industrial construction projects can often result in serious injuries when duties are performed by unskilled workers. While the ability to get someone in place for the position faster by partnering with an existing partner may seem appealing, the consequences can be long term.

So how do you identify a skilled trades staffing agency or industrial staffing agency? Here are a few ways to identify a skilled trades recruiter:

  • The company website shows that at least a portion of their staff is dedicated to skilled trades or industrial staffing.
  • They should provide a list of positions that they staff for industrial projects such as pipe fitters, pipe welders, industrial electricians, combo welders, and millwrights.
  • Ask them how many shutdowns and turnarounds they supplied staff for in the past year. If they seem confused, continue your search elsewhere.
  • Ask them to describe how they support and encourage safety for their industrial and skilled trades workers. If their answer is generic in nature such as a basic safety quiz or video is performed upon hire, they likely do not specialize in industrial and skilled trades placements.
  • Inquire as to what safety services and training are available through their company. Do they employ a full time safety team?
  • Ask for references. If you are still unsure about a staffing agency’s ability to provide you with safe and skilled industrial workers ask them to if they are able to provide a list of industrial projects they have provided skilled trades staff for in the past.

Obtaining, running, and managing heavy industrial construction projects can be difficult enough with qualified and experienced industrial workers. Don’t chance your company’s reputation, financial state, and future with unskilled talent on the job.
