Why Our Recruitment Process Guarantees the Perfect Fit for Your Engineering Team

The Engineering industry is competitive, fast-moving and always evolving. Our specialised engineering recruitment process has been designed to help your engineering team keep pace with the industry, allowing you to source and appoint top-quality engineering talent effectively and efficiently.

Here’s how the Mackinnon & Partners engineering recruitment process guarantees the perfect fit for your engineering team…

Our Engineering Recruitment Process

Strategic Candidate Sourcing

Discovering top-quality talent that aligns with the needs of your Engineering team begins with quality sourcing strategies. Traditional hiring methods aren’t always effective within the engineering industry due to its ultra-specific skillset criteria. That’s why we leverage our carefully curated industry networks, databases and knowledge to identify high-calibre candidates.

Our specialist agents tap into unique talent pools, including passive talent pools, to source candidates that other organisations may not be privy to – an excellent advantage in this incredibly competitive industry.

Our strategic sourcing processes lay the foundations for placing a perfect-fit candidate within your engineering team.

Tailored Screening Processes

While sourcing top-quality candidates forms the basis of a quality hire, our tailored screening processes help identify the cream of the crop. As the engineering industry relies heavily on skill, value and cultural fit, we utilise advanced recruitment technology to help us identify excellent candidate matches for your specific organisation.

We use psychometric testing, predictive analysis, and skill-specific simulations to determine the extent of a candidate’s skills, cognitive abilities, values, and personality traits. These characteristics give us a better idea of how well a candidate aligns with your specific engineering team. We’ll then cement this data by conducting in-depth behavioural and competency-based interviews, giving us a better overall feel for the candidate.

Our rigorous screening process is designed to provide you with a small, carefully curated pool of candidates for you to choose from, all of whom align with your engineering team’s requirements. 

Quality Candidate Selection

Only once our sourcing and screening processes are complete do we begin to consider the section of quality candidates as a perfect fit for your engineering team. This part of the process involves gaining an in-depth understanding of your organisation’s goals, values, and team dynamics to allow us to be incredibly precise where candidate selection is concerned.

This means you can rest assured that the candidate we select for you has been fully assessed in terms of your specific organisation, our decisions have been well-informed throughout and our recommendations are based on solid data.

Benefits for Your Engineering Team

Not only does our tailored recruitment process guarantee the perfect fit candidate for your engineering team, but it also:

• Saves your organisation time and resources
• Reduces time-to-fill
• Gives you access to industry experts
