5 ways that smaller firms can compete with large industrial automation companies when it comes to attracting talent. 👇 -Offer diverse roles. Employees won't be pigeonholed into a single task but will get to tackle a variety of projects. -Competitive compensation packages. Smaller firms can often offer unique packages, with more flexibility than larger companies. -A tight-knit, supportive team environment and higher visibility within the organization. -More opportunities for hands-on innovation and creative solutions – less red tape. -A healthier work/life balance and less “corporate politics”. Just because you don't have the advertising power of a large industrial automation company doesn't mean you can't attract top engineering and leadership talent. Emphasize what sets you apart, and ensure you're effectively communicating those advantages to potential candidates.

Reshoring is happening. It's not if, but when and how fast. Essential Semiconductor manufacturing has been the focus of the CHIPS act. Now, Solar manufacturing is being returned via US policy action as well. Economists can debate over the ‘quality’ of the manufacturing jobs returning to the US via reshoring. But there is no debate that jobs are being created. Through tariffs and subsidies, a myriad of manufacturing sectors are being bolstered in this pursuit. So far the biggest challenge for the manufacturers, as pointed out in this article, is finding the qualified workers to hire to meet the new demands. https://ow.ly/lBPH50RnrkA

3 Strategies for Overcoming Hiring Challanges in the Manufactuing Industry. In the dynamic landscape of industrial manufacturing, organizations are grappling with significant hiring challenges that threaten productivity and growth. As outlined in recent studies, including a comprehensive report by Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute, the shortage of skilled laborers in the United States is expected to escalate, potentially resulting in 2.1 million unfilled positions by 2030 and a staggering $1 trillion loss to the industry in that year alone. To address these pressing issues, manufacturing leaders are focusing on strategic initiatives aimed at attracting, nurturing, and retaining talent within their organizations. Here are some key strategies: 1. Implementing Employee Retention Strategies: Recognizing the critical importance of retaining skilled workers, manufacturers are enhancing employee retention efforts. This includes increasing wages, reskilling programs to align with Industry 4.0 demands, and comprehensive recognition programs to foster a sense of value and motivation among employees. 2. Overcoming Workforce Shortages Through Reskilling: With the rapid evolution of manufacturing technologies, reskilling programs have become indispensable. Manufacturers are investing in various reskilling initiatives, including online courses, virtual reality training, and partnerships with educational institutions such as Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and Northwestern University. 3. Diversifying the Workforce: Acknowledging the need for a more diverse workforce, manufacturers are actively seeking to attract women and individuals from underrepresented ethnic groups. By adopting these strategies, manufacturing organizations can position themselves to not only mitigate the current labor shortage but also thrive in an increasingly competitive market. We encourage you to explore these avenues to strengthen your workforce and drive sustainable growth.

U.S. Manufacturing is preparing for a "supercycle" based on strong economic growth. Lessons learned post-pandemic have fueled the need for reshoring of supply chains with legislation and private investment in infrastructure, high-tech, and semiconductor production creating the need for over 2.1 million jobs by 2030. Is your organization prepared to overcome the challenges and create the right strategic partnerships? Learn more on strategies to win the demand for talent in our post here: https://lnkd.in/g7pp569M

On your Resume: Instead of saying... - Supported decision making... - Partnered across the organization... - Prepared financial models to improve business results... Provide actual examples of when you did those things, the situations, and the results. #Cheers #Careers

Just like that, the GM created a brand-new role for our candidate. When smart leaders recognize exceptional talent, they figure out how to make the hire... In this case, we presented a candidate who excelled in his current role as a process control engineer. At mid-career, he has shown progressive development with a proven track record, looking for something more challenging. An overall fantastic candidate. After his on-site interview, we were disappointed to hear he no longer wanted to pursue the role. It turns out that while he loved the company, leadership, and culture, he learned through the interview that the role itself was basically a lateral slide. Bored to tears in his current position, he kindly bowed out and planned to continue his job search. When I spoke with the GM and told him the news, his response… “I can work with that; I’ll call him now” During this call, the two discussed the shortcomings of the role he interviewed for, how to make it more challenging, and in essence, they re-wrote the job description to create an entirely new position for our candidate. And guess what? He accepted the offer on that call. Innovative leaders with vision can turn challenges into opportunities.

The U.S Bureau of Labour Statistics has predicted the fastest growing professions across the United States, with an expected 11.9 million new jobs to be created across the country from 2020 - 2030. The highest ranked job is Wind Turbine Service Technicians. 👏 The study predicts jobs across the entirety of the US economy, not just renewables with wind technicians topping the list. The demand for professionals & skilled workers in the industry has never been higher, and by this prediction, demand is only going to increase in the near future. Take a look at the full infographic here: https://lnkd.in/e5pbuWzw What do you think the wind industry will look like in 2030. 👇 #WindTechJobs #USRenewables #NetZero

I often receive requests for assistance with job searches, and if I had a nickel for every time, I would be retired. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide this because we work for organizations who are our clients. This article explains the work of a retained search firm (what we do) versus a contingency search firm. Happy Friday to all. #retainedsearch #shellihermansearch

According to a report by Deloitte, 2.1 million manufacturing jobs could remain unfilled between now and 2030. To make matters worse, U.S. manufacturing executives believe it is 36% harder to secure the right talent today than in 2018. While manufacturers are continuing to invest in the on-site work environment (factories, plants), their investment in the off-site environment is falling short. While the past few years have shown the speed at which things can change, transitioning to hybrid models in manufacturing is no overnight adjustment. Technology that can serve solutions both in the warehouse and from home is the key to unlocking sustainable business operations and bringing together teams. An example of this technology is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, which provides infrastructure, data, and collaboration tools to make remote work possible and cost-effective.
