Industry Sector: Advanced Technologies (Defence and Space)
Locations: Hastings / Blackwood
Business Background: Communication systems, Cybersecurity, Intelligence systems, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Electronic Warfare.
Service Description: Exclusivity to work on finding FPGA engineers
Skill areas: Highly experienced in niche technical engineering recruitment where a bespoke solution is required, tailored to the client’s needs. Exclusive access to working the roles in FPGA engineering
The Challenge
Advanced Technologies were struggling to find FPGA engineers in certain locations where despite being heavily populated areas of the UK, the niche skill set they required was scarce. Having not used a Recruiter for permanent staffing solutions for many years, Advanced Technologies needed a recruitment partner who understood their business and the specific skills they required, with ready access to a talent pool to help them fill their vacancies swiftly.
The Solution
- Recruit 12 were approached to help Advanced Technologies find them a suitable candidate for an FPGA Engineer vacancy to assist with their special projects.
- Any candidates needed to be SC Clearable due to the highly confidential nature of the projects.
- We worked closely with Advanced Technologies to formulate a recruitment strategy, provided feedback on market conditions and come up with a solution to find these engineers, whilst incorporating variables such as salary range, working styles and patterns into our strategy and search criteria.
The Results
- Throughout the project, we collated a document to track the progress of the role which included information on how many potential candidates were spoken to, how many didn’t meet requirements, and the feedback/reasons for rejection from all candidates.
- This helped us to recruit for the role at pace whilst keeping Advanced Technologies informed at all stages of the recruitment process.
- As this project progressed, we sourced 3 highly skilled Engineers at Engineer, Senior and principal level within a short time scale.
