Types of recruitment tests for construction & manufacturing

Staff with the right skills are increasingly expensive and hard to find, with essential manufacturing and construction roles going unfilled for longer. This increases the strain on existing staff, impacting productivity and employee engagement, whilst lengthening project delivery timescales. You’re competing with other industries for top talent, and seeing skilled staff retire – how do you ensure you find the best talent and increase diversity across your employee base as well?

Recruitment costs are significantly lower. The time to fill a position has been reduced, the resources required to hire have been reduced, turnover of news hires have been reduced, while the speed at which new hires positively impact the organization has increased.

A diverse workforce makes your company more successful

Increasing the diversity in your business can be hard. The traditional image of a manufacturing or construction worker doesn’t accurately reflect current, let alone future business needs.
