The talent shortage is not going away. Australia’s birth rate has been declining for decades. Even with the recent uptick in immigration, there will not be enough qualified engineers or project managers to fill all your open roles (forget about growth!) for the foreseeable future.
Businesses have spent years trolling the same talent pools and recycling candidates. To solve this talent shortage, you must think differently about how to fill your roles.
This hands-on masterclass will help you think outside the square and identify new talent pools from which to fish, using real-life examples from engineering and other industries.
After completing this workshop, you’ll never need to worry about the talent shortage again!
This course is part two of a four-part series on recruiting engineers. Learn more about this series.
