If you’re an engineer looking for a new position, a career recruiter can help you find your perfect job. However, not all job recruiters are going to be able to understand the ins and outs of engineering and your specific expertise. Additionally, an out-of-state or international recruiter may not be able to best serve your needs.
In this case, you need to look for a job recruiter who’s local to the Midwest (ideally, to Minnesota) and who works primarily with engineers. Here are some tips for finding that perfect recruiter.
What is an Engineer Recruiter?
A recruiter is someone who finds qualified candidates and matches them with open job positions. This can be for temp positions, temp-to-hire or direct placement jobs. In our experience, most engineers who are looking for jobs in Minnesota are looking for longer-term placements.
An engineer recruiter is someone who specializes in finding jobs for engineers. Strom Minnesota works with engineers and companies to fill engineering positions with qualified candidates. This sets us apart from other recruiting companies, who focus on breadth and not depth. Because we work with engineers so closely, our recruiters understand what various engineering jobs entail, the common concerns engineers have and have working knowledge of industry terms. This shared understanding makes the job-hunting process smoother for everyone involved.
How to Find an Engineer Recruiter in Minneapolis
If you’re specifically looking for an engineering recruiter in Minneapolis, here are a few tips for finding an organization.
Begin your search online, but avoid aggregate job sites like Indeed. You’ll have more luck using a service that specializes in engineering jobs, vs just a general job search board. Strom Minnesota’s online job board features a wide array of temporary manufacturing positions in the Minnesota area.
Once you’ve found a company, take a look at their website. Are they based in Minnesota? Are most of their positions related to engineering?
If you’re looking for a local recruiter, you want to find a recruiter that has a Minnesota address.
Another place to look for engineer recruiters is on LinkedIn. Simply search for “engineer recruiters” or “engineering recruiters” and limit your search to Minneapolis zip codes.
Once you’ve found a recruiter you’re interested in, you should ask them a few questions to learn more about any job openings and their qualifications.
