Dom Hodgson - Head of Germany
Recruitment processes never stop, even in holiday season, some candidates who are employed may have more flexibility and availability to interview during this period even they too have taken time off work.
If you are a client who has been struggling to fill vacancies this year, don’t stop your hiring processes in holiday season. Delegate the workload to another colleague, and even if the position doesn’t need to be filled immediately, conducting interviews, and engaging with potential candidates can help you build a decent pipeline of candidates

AI and Automation Shaping the Engineering Workforce
AI is now a hot topic in many industries. Whether feared or accepted, it is inevitably becoming a lasting integration into a variety of job roles, especially in the Engineering and Technology sectors.
Engineering advancements, such as improved efficiency and problem-solving capabilities, allow room for new innovations and smart infrastructures. As traditional engineering roles evolve, hiring managers need to source candidates with a combination of engineering experience and proficiency in AI and Automation.
Sourcing candidates with the desired skill sets needed to utilise this evolution is challenging. Hiring managers require experienced engineers with a contemporary mindset and ambition who are willing to reskill and upskill, and this is where g2 recruitment comes in and plays a vital role in our client hiring processes.
With a rich candidate database filled with the desired talent, g2 Recruitment are perfectly positioned to deliver what is required for advanced engineering projects across the UK and EU.
EU Initiatives Driving Significant Growth and Investment in Renewable Energy Projects
EU initiatives such as the “European Green Deal” and the “Renewable Energy Directive” are driving significant growth and investment in renewable energy projects.
The projects are either being awarded to SMEs and Scale-Ups specializing in solar, wind, and other renewable energy technologies, who are in turn having to recruit quickly for staff to cope with project demand, or awarded to large established engineering firms who have to shift their core business and workforce in order to take on renewable energy projects and often they won’t have the necessary expertise internally to complete such projects.
g2 Recruitment can assist here as we have a database of candidate with niche expertise compiled from candidates found on LinkedIn Recruiter, renewable energy specific job boards and attending networking events such as the World Hydrogen Summit.
