The Industry-Wide Skilled Labor Shortage
In a 2018 study by Deloitte, it was estimated that in the next decade, 2.4 million manufacturing jobs will go unfilled due to the manufacturing skills gap, resulting in millions of dollars worth of unrealized revenue. In a separate study released by The Manufacturing Institute, 75% of manufacturers are facing a moderate-to-severe shortage of skilled labor.
Job Boards and Job Fairs Aren't Enough
To fill empty positions, manufacturing recruiters are turning to traditional forms of recruitment such as job boards, billboards, job fairs, radio ads, tv ads, print ads, and more. And while these forms can bring in qualified applicants, they’re passive methods that offer manufacturers little to no ability to target the exact kind of employee they want. Manufacturers need to get creative with their advertising tactics when it comes to recruitment and turn to an active way of finding qualified applicants: social media.
