Frequently Asked Questions About Engineering Recruitment
What is involved in the engineering recruitment process?
An engineering recruitment process follows similar stages to most professional hiring processes, including resume screening, interviews, reference checks, and offer and acceptance. For engineering roles specifically, you can expect at least two interview stages: an initial recruiter-led interview assessing cultural fit and communication, followed by a technical interview with a senior leader or manager. Qualifications will be verified, and if overseas qualifications are involved, accreditation through Engineers Australia will be required.
What types of engineering roles can Bayside Group fill?
Bayside Group can fill most roles requiring an engineering degree, from graduates and mid-level engineers through to project managers, executives and C-suite. Engineering disciplines include Civil, Construction, Design, Electrical, Environmental, Geotechnical, Manufacturing, Mechanical, Oil and Gas, Petroleum, Signalling, Structural, Telecommunications and Water.
How do you ensure only the best engineering candidates are shortlisted?
Our consultants meet with engineering professionals within their area of specialisation every day and maintain deep knowledge of their market. Combined with the time we take to understand your work environment and requirements, along with innovative sourcing and talent mapping techniques, we have 50 years of proven experience in shortlisting only the best-fit candidates.
How long does it take to fill an engineering position?
Two weeks is the average timeframe, though Bayside Group has filled contract positions within 24 hours when urgency demands it. Permanent roles typically require four weeks, and senior or specialised positions up to six weeks. We provide an estimated timeframe when taking your job brief so expectations are clear from the start.
