BUILDING YOUR BRIDGE TO SUCCESS

ENGINEERING HR SERVICES

In today’s professional world, some industries can benefit greatly from outsourcing for specialized HR – Engineering is one of those industries.

Engineering & Human Resources Challenges

Society needs engineers. Among many other things, engineers ensure the structural stability of buildings and the reliable operation of both software and machinery. This perpetual need drives the perception of engineering careers are some of the most stable professions and keeps the engineer job market competitive.

From the job market for software engineers to the aerospace engineering job market, there’s no shortage of candidates. But HR engineer recruiting is just one piece of the engineering human resources puzzle.

As with most other industries, retaining and developing talent within a cohesive team pays off. Meanwhile, continually recruiting, onboarding, and training new hires costs money, introduces new risks, and reduces overall productivity until a new hire is settled into the team. Unfortunately, the competitive nature of the industry means employees are often targeted by competing firms, who may already have specialized HR for engineers to help them attract top talent.

Engineers bring invaluable training, skills, and discipline. However, engineers often also bring some quirks of personality that can create issues within workplace culture. Personality clashes and low morale have a direct impact on the bottom line, especially given the collaborative nature of most engineering projects.

Expert guidance for human resources in engineering firms can help.

Your fractional HR leader from FIT will ensure your company avoids costly mistakes—before they happen. 2. Stabilize work schedules & lessen leadership gaps Leadership gaps are costly. When a current HR leader takes long-term leave, or your business cycle demands hiring beyond what you can handle in-house, tap our fractional human resources program.
