Overcoming the Engineering Candidate Shortage
How AI can revolutionise your engineering recruitment process
In the UK's thriving engineering sector, finding qualified candidates has never been tougher. According to REC research, 65% of employers report skill shortages. Traditional methods are failing – it's time for AI to step in.
The Engineering Candidate Shortage: A Deep-Seated Issue
Engineering roles require highly specialised skills and qualifications like Chartered Engineer status or relevant certifications. This narrows the talent pool significantly. Moreover, Brexit and an aging workforce have exacerbated skill shortages, making it challenging to fill vacancies for roles such as mechanical engineers (-37% of employers reporting shortages), electrical/electronic engineers (-34%), and civil engineers (-25%).
