Tech industry employees everywhere are on pins and needles as layoffs continue. Instead of nervously checking the calendar for those 15-minute meetings with HR daily, now is the time to build a relationship with a technical recruiter. This is especially true for engineers equipped with the necessary expertise to transition from a hard-hit industry to one that thrives during a slowdown. Even if your position is currently well-secured, developing a healthy rapport with a consulting provider is still a good idea.
Companies like TeamUP are uniquely set up to help engineers transition from one field to another, providing opportunities for short and long-term contract work in many spaces. These organizations are advocates who take the time to understand your skills in depth and align them with companies that fit an engineer’s personal needs and professional goals.
No one knows for sure what 2023 will bring to the engineering world, but TeamUP is now prepared to staff eligible candidates in a space that may thrive through this time of economic uncertainty.
According to a recent McKinsey analysis, even though tech companies may be experiencing layoffs, opportunities exist in industrial sectors like aerospace and defense, where about 50,000 jobs still need to be fulfilled, most of which are in technology.
Engineers in the aerospace and defense industry design, develop, and test various technologies and systems for use in military and civilian aircraft, spacecraft, and weapons systems. This can include everything from working on engines to advanced navigation and communication systems. Defense engineers may also be involved in the management and implementation of large-scale defense projects, as well as in the development of new technologies and strategies for defending against potential threats.
"Factors unique to aerospace and defense— including strong demand for new passenger aircraft and surging military spending—should keep those industries humming through tough economic times,” says Alex Kurtz of Flight Global.
There are several reasons why companies in the aerospace industry might choose to partner with a company like TeamUP to help them find qualified candidates for their job openings. These reasons can be briefly summarized in the following:
TeamUP can specifically help companies in the aerospace industry by providing access to a vast pool of qualified candidates with the skills, experience level, and correct clearance needed to succeed in these roles.
