News: Elevation see rise in demand for engineers

By

Rotherham based specialists, Elevation Recruitment, has reported a substantial increase in demand from local businesses within the region hoping to take on a number of qualified engineering professionals this year.

In last month's Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) National Barometer, 31% of respondents said that they are looking to create new jobs with 58% reporting an increase in orders and 55% anticipating a further upturn between now and the end of the year.

John Bohan, Director of Engineering & Manufacturing recruitment at Elevation, said: "From an employment perspective, now is a very critical time for the economy.

"Over the past five years we’ve seen few engineering firms looking to take on new recruits, with many instead choosing to strip down their work force to the bare minimum in an effort to ride out the economic crisis.

"The change we are now seeing from within the industry is hopefully an indication of things to come, not only on a national level, but also for local independent firms here in South Yorkshire, which have been hit hardest by the recession in the past few years."

Part of the Horbury Group, Elevation was founded in 2010. They launched a specialist Engineering and Manufacturing Division in May this year, following positive signs of economic growth within the sector and the region's increased demand for operational and technical staff.
