"I'm only looking to recruit permanently, I don't want to be paying hourly for a contracting technician." 💸 I hear this far too often and I think this stems from the bad reputation the recruitment industry, as a whole, has. However, during the standstill period awaiting a permanent hire, costs can soar to an average of £18,000 per month. 😮 It typically takes over 6 weeks to find, interview, and onboard a vehicle technician, resulting in significant financial losses. To help with these losses, we offer fully qualified contracting vehicle technicians to keep operations running smoothly until a permanent hire is secured. This ensures uninterrupted workflow, open schedules, and maximises productivity in your workshop, enabling you to meet deadlines and targets. For more details on how we can support your needs, feel free to reach out via phone at 07759 124256 or email at ellie.mcguinness@venatu.co.uk #vehicletechnician #vehiclemechanic #dealership #contracting #jobsavailable

🎯 Hiring Right in Manufacturing & Warehousing 🏭 Navigating the interview process in the UK's manufacturing and warehousing sectors can be a maze of challenges. But get it right, and you unlock a team that drives efficiency and growth. Here's how: 🔍 Precision is Key Start with a laser-focused job description. It's not just about listing duties; it's about painting a picture of the day-to-day realities. Be clear on the skills and experience needed, but also highlight the soft skills that can make or break a team. 🤝 People Over Process Remember, you're hiring humans, not robots. Even in industries driven by precision and order, the human element is irreplaceable. Build rapport, listen actively, and look for candidates who fit the company culture. 📊 Metrics Matter In our data-driven world, numbers speak volumes. Ask candidates about their track record. How have they improved processes or saved costs in the past? UK-specific examples are gold dust, showing they understand the local market and regulations. 🔄 Continuous Improvement The best candidates don't just work; they evolve. Look for a mindset of growth and adaptability. The manufacturing and warehousing landscapes are constantly changing, especially with Brexit shaking up supply chains. 🧠 Safety First Never compromise on safety. It's the backbone of the industry. Ensure candidates respect and understand the importance of health and safety regulations. It's not just about compliance; it's about caring for your team. 💡 Innovation Station The UK's manufacturing and warehousing sectors are ripe for innovation. Probe into how candidates have embraced new technologies or processes. Have they shown initiative in problem-solving or efficiency? 🚀 Launching Careers Remember, an interview is a two-way street. Sell the role. Talk about career progression, training opportunities, and how you invest in your employees. The best talent wants to know they're stepping into a role with a future. #ManufacturingUK #Warehousing #HiringTips Crafting a team that embodies these qualities can transform your operations. It's about finding the balance between skills and cultural fit, between experience and potential. Keep these tips in your toolbox, and you'll build a workforce that's not just capable, but exceptional. 🌟
