Permanent Recruitment

Reduce the skills shortage's impact on your business

The process of permanent recruitment is quite complex, particularly in today's competitive environment. Keeping candidates engaged throughout this journey is a top priority and at Professional Technical, we actively contribute to making this happen.

In recent years, the well-documented skills shortage in the engineering sector has become even more evident. Companies across the various sectors we serve are facing challenges with their engineering teams due to rising manufacturing demands and a lack of qualified engineers. In response, we take proactive measures to mitigate these challenges by staying closely connected to the sectors we support and the available talent pool.

We are committed to identifying the best candidates and the most dedicated companies. Through our expertise and personalised approach, we ensure success driven by diligence, intelligence and hard work.

The Permanent Process

The process begins when one of our team of specialist consultants takes a detailed brief covering duties and experience needed and cultural fit, advising on current salary trends and skills shortages.

From here an in-depth search and selection process takes place whereby Professional Technical’s consultants will access the in-house database and also various specialist external sites and most importantly our unique LinkedIn connections.

The next phase is to discuss the client’s role and ascertain the candidate’s interest before a CV is sent. Once an interview is arranged, Professional Technical will maintain contact with the candidate; ensuring salary expectations are realistic; handling post interview feedback, offers, negotiations, start dates and post placement debriefs.

The building of a good relationship between Professional Technical, our clients and our candidates is vital and ensuring open communication during a time when life changing and business critical decisions are made is very important.

Honesty and clarity

As with any business, honest, open and transparent communication is essential for a successful recruitment process. Without these qualities, the entire system risks failure. This is where having an intermediary in the recruitment process becomes highly valuable. Initially acting as expert matchmakers, they expertly navigate the landscape to identify the ideal candidate or opportunity. Just as crucial, they take on the role of facilitators, managing and overseeing the complex aspects of the recruitment journey, from the early stages through to the critical offer negotiations.
