In the past few years, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skill shortage has troubled the European region. The continent’s demand for engineering talent has started to outstrip supply, and organisations are concerned about finding the right fit for their requirements. Even as they strive to source suitable candidates through social media networks, it is often difficult to gauge the prospective candidate’s interest in the new job. Companies spend weeks anticipating a positive confirmation from suitable candidates but often receive an offer decline or an ambiguous response, wasting precious time in the process. Moreover, although the resumes spell out the skill sets and education, it is not easy to ascertain their soft competencies and effectively match candidates to jobs.

Against this challenging backdrop, Eric Myard, MD of Enginium Group, a leading recruitment and project staffing firm, emphasises the importance of linking recruitment 4.0 with the traditional human approach to recruitment. Enginium Group employs automation to match the keywords such as job, age, and skills on the CV to implement effective, personified, and rapid candidate search strategies. “We use AI within our Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to better target our research strategies,” says Myard. The company’s extensive database of engineering prospects coupled with dedicated search enables them to find the most suitable candidate matching all the client requirements. “We attach great importance to our recruitment process and to our way of reaching candidates in the markets,” says Myard. The Enginium Group team takes pride in partnering with their candidates and ensures they receive a follow-up during and after the recruitment process while supporting them in their decisions of change.

In a nutshell, the Enginium team’s research tools, human and listening skills, willingness to go the extra mile, and tenacity in successfully delivering results in each of their recruitment missions make all the difference compared to the competition.

But what sets Enginium Group apart is its deep engineering expertise. With a background in engineering coupled with profound recruitment skills, Myard draws attention to his team comprising more than 80 percent of engineers, which adds to their competency of comprehending clients’ exact requirements to recruit engineers. The company specialises in recruiting candidates with only engineering and PhD background, with a minimum of seven years of professional and technical experience. Its forte lies in four key sectors of Europe: production, construction, aerospace, and energy. “Our goal is to remain a niche recruiter, hiring highly skilled talent most confidentially,” says Myard.

From a surfeit of success stories, Myard recalls a client partnership where the CEO of an aeronautics company was looking to form a new board in the context of change management and implement a new way of working. Enginium Group stepped up to understand the client’s vision, strategy, the company culture, and the future technological challenges to recruit members for the new board and make it function better. “Since the aeronautics sector in Europe is small, it was necessary to approach potential candidates with complete discretion. It was essential to implement a non-disclosure agreement, directly approach the prospects, and carry out the interview over several phases without revealing the client,” explains Myard. With its AI-based ATS and human approach, Enginium Group contacted several deserving candidates for the board position while ensuring that they ticked all the boxes of the client’s requirements.

For the road ahead, the company is looking at exploring innovative solutions. Although the company has an AI-based ATS, the future plan is to improve it to analyse millions of candidate data on social networks to easily and quickly select the right profiles. Enginium Group is also developing software to analyse video resumes and examine candidates’ behaviour on the screen. The company’s long-term goals include expanding into Norway, Denmark and Germany with more technological industries oriented towards improving the environment.
