Honestly? Recruitment in manufacturing and engineering isn’t what it used to be. Gone are the days where you could stick an ad online and sit back while the CV’s rolled in. Those “300 applications from one post” days…History.
Finding great people now takes graft. Consistent graft. The kind that involves picking up the phone, building trust over time, and really knowing your industry. Especially when you’re talking about hard-to-fill roles in Aerospace, Castings, Automotive, and other specialist areas.
That’s where we come in. The right recruiter for you.
Why We’re The Right Recruiter For You
At Oliver Rae, we’re constantly out there talking to skilled candidates. Many of whom aren’t actively looking for a new job. You won’t find them on job boards. They’re the ones we’ve built relationships with over months, sometimes years. We know what makes them tick, what might tempt them to move, and the kind of environment where they’ll thrive.
That kind of network doesn’t appear overnight, and for most busy internal teams who are running production lines and hitting deadlines, there simply isn’t time to make it happen.
We make it happen. Every single day.
We Don’t Just Recruit For You. We Work With You
Before we take on any role, we make it our mission to get under the skin of your business. Your culture, your team dynamic, the way your shop floor runs. If we don’t know you inside out, we won’t work the vacancy.
Because when we speak to candidates, we’re representing you. And we need to do that with confidence and authenticity if we’re going to bring you the right people.
Your Managers Are busy. Let Us Take This Off their Plate
Manufacturing is fast-paced. Production managers, engineering leads, and operations teams are already spinning enough plates. Managing output, maintaining machinery, and hitting their targets.
Recruiting is another plate. And if it drops, the knock-on effects can be huge.
That’s why we step-in. While you focus on delivering for your customers, we’re finding the CNC programmers, Tool Makers, Quality Engineers, or Maintenance Leads who will keep things moving.
We’re With You For the Long Haul
We’re not in the business of shoving CV’s at you just to fill a role (although recruiters tend to get tarnished with the same brush). We want to place people who will stay, add value, and grow with your company. That’s why clients come back to us time and time again. We not only fill vacancies, we solve hiring problems.
In a Talent-Short Market, Relationships Win
Anyone can post a job ad. It takes the right recruiter to pick up the phone to a candidate they’ve known for two years and say “I’ve got the perfect job for you.”
If you’re hiring in Aerospace, Sheet Metal, Automotive, Fasteners, Castings, or any other manufacturing sector, you need a recruiter who speaks your language and gets your world.
That’s us.
