What Is Technical Recruiting?

Technical recruiting is the process of finding and hiring highly skilled candidates for specialty job roles and companies when key employees leave, when there is a surplus of work or when companies are simply experiencing growth. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all recruiting method that some staffing agencies take, technical recruiting involves a list of specific job requirements and technical skills that need to be matched. Since the job duties require certain skills, technical recruiting ensures each of the expert skills is checked off before offering candidates to your company.

Our recruiters at Strom Minnesota make it our mission to match highly skilled candidates with to highly specialized job roles. For niche jobs that require specific experience and specific education, we’ll help you find the best candidates from our pool of qualified candidates. Our extensive network of candidates and years of experience handling recruiting in the engineering and manufacturing industry make us one of the best options for placing candidates in technical roles.

Differences Between Direct Hire and Technical Recruiting

Direct hire staffing and technical recruiting are essentially the same thing, but technical recruiting aims to fill more specialized roles, while direct hire positions can take candidates from virtually anywhere given they have the proper experience for the role, technical recruiting is a little more niche. If your company is trying to fill specific positions that require a deeper skillset or a certain amount of technical experience, that’s where technical recruiting comes in.

At Strom Minnesota, we offer technical recruiting services to help find candidates for specialized roles in engineering, assembly, drafting, manufacturing and more. With years of experience in these industries, we’re the best fit to help any company recruit and hire candidates in engineering and related fields. Through using our professional recruiters, we’ll help you fill roles faster with better-qualified candidates.

Strom has reliably provided me with staffing services for many years for a wide range of engineering design services. I look forward to working with Strom to assist with temporary staffing needs in the future.
