The Appetite for Talent in Engineering

Beyond the Blueprint

In the second episode of Beyond the Blueprint, we take a closer look at how companies are approaching talent acquisition within engineering and how potential candidates should prepare for those changes.

We’re joined by Lorraine Logan and Andy Pilbeam — two of Ingersoll Rand’s most experienced talent acquisition professionals. They explain what forward-thinking businesses are now offering to attract the very best talent and how those looking to progress their career can stand out from the crowd to secure their most desired roles.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The current recruitment landscape and the challenges for engineering businesses looking to attract the next generation of talent.
• Why the skills gap persists despite efforts to bring more skilled people into the sector.
• Traditional pathways into an engineering career vs. the road less travelled.
• The generation gap in today’s workforce, what entry-level engineers now seek from their employer, and how organizations are responding.
• The opportunities for career development and importance of diversification within a large international business such as Ingersoll Rand.
