The UK Engineering sector continues to experience a shortfall in new entrants to the workplace and is acutely affected by candidate scarcity. Recruitment in the sector is likely to remain extremely challenging - especially when coupled with a lack of brand awareness. So when competing for talent it pays to be a step ahead.

The Engineering sector rely heavily on Career Sites (94%) and Professional Social Networks (88%) to fill vacancies with the right candidates. We see a slight increase in the use of engineering applicant tracking system/CRM & Talent Pools from 50% last year to 54% in the latest data within the sector. With one of the main sector challenges being candidate scarcity, the importance of providing good candidate experience and correctly managing engineering applicants is greater than ever.
When we look at how Engineering recruiters are succeeding with talent attraction, the Sourcing Quadrant shares an interesting picture. Career sites, like last year, fall short in attracting the required quality and quantity of candidates, despite its significant use. Meanwhile, engineering ATS/CRM/Talent Pools, Professional Social Networks and Agencies deliver the most successful mix of candidates. Also worthy of a mention is that usage of employee referrals (73%) has decreased (81%, 2023) while still remaining one of the top-performing sourcing channels, attracting the highest quality of candidates.
