The 5-Step Contract Engineering Shop Litmus Test
It’s crucial to avoid the companies that over-promise and under-deliver – and there are a lot of them. Companies who present under-qualified candidates with don’t match your job reqs.
A reliable contract engineering shop will provide you with the best candidates. The people who will keep your programs on schedule and your business operating at peak efficiency.
These steps will help you avoid the former and focus on the latter.
Step #1: Check the Contract Engineering Shop’s Track Record
Is the company newly founded, or has it got 10 or more years of experience in sourcing aerospace engineers and delivering the best candidates to fill roles? The longer the track record, the more confidence you can have that the contract engineering shop delivers what it says it will.
Step #2: Check that the Company Values Its Employees
When a company values its employees you get value delivered to you. You get engineers who are motivated to excel, to do their best work, and to stay at the top of their game. So make sure you ask about how the contract shop treats its employees.
Step #3: Check for Excellence in Service
It’s not only how the contract engineering shop treats its employees that matters. It’s how it treats its clients. After all, service is the name of the game. This comes back to the company’s ability to really get to know you and your projects, and understand your exact needs.
Step #4: Check the Contract Shop’s Ability to Fill Roles Quickly
Often, you’ll need to fill a position fast. You can’t afford to wait months for the right candidate to be found. You need that person onboard in a few weeks – sometimes in days. Therefore, you should inquire as to average time to fill roles and how quickly the company locates candidates for open roles.
Step #5: Check the Contract Engineering Shop’s Own HR Capability
Here’s something that many companies neglect to check: how well does the contract shop do with its own HR? Is its HR department ready to swing into action to assist its clients and their own employees? Can they onboard quickly and accurately to deliver engineers in the required time?
