Solving the Manufacturing Labor Shortage with Special Guest Factory Fix

The manufacturing labor shortage has been detrimental to many industries. If you are struggling with filling job vacancies in the manufacturing and industrial sectors, then you need to hear what Patrick O’Rahilly (Factory Fix) and I have to say about filling those positions.

Factory Fix is trying to help solve 3 problems they see in factory recruiting today by utilizing their innovative, subscription-based, online platform:

Labor shortage (across the board in most industries)
Skills gap with retiring workforce (unique to manufacturing)
Overall responsiveness and candidate ghosting
Factory Fix developed an intensive recruiting platform to address these issues and they help companies to staff their critical needs at any level within their companies from production workers to skilled laborers or upper management. They have goals of streamlining the hiring process and getting more applicant volume. They desire to be the turnkey solution to what any manufacturing client needs. The experts at Factory Fit utilize software and technology which matches your company to potential candidates who have skills and experience with the job you are hiring for. They cast the widest net possible to drive traffic. They also have an innovative scoring operation to vet every applicant and get clarity on a candidate’s experience.

The skilled labor gap is massive in the industrial and manufacturing industries today. There is a shortage of machinists, welders, programmers, and other skilled laborers. Factory Fix looks to make the process user-friendly, ensures your position is widely posted, and focuses on the Long Game of recruiting.

How is Factory Fix playing the Long Game in recruiting for manufacturing and industrial positions?

Factory Fix has recently acquired funding which will help them to revitalize the manufacturing industry.
Their goal is to remove the "Backup Plan" stigma around the industry. Raising awareness that manufacturing can be a lucrative career gap.
Factory fix is fostering closing the skills gap by ensuring there is a younger generation of skilled laborers ready to fill vacancies.
The competition is extremely fierce right now with fortune 500 companies and the gig economy. COVID-19 threw everyone for a loop because the unemployment tax benefit made the competition even more intense and the aging workforce saw retirement as a better option than staying on for a few more years. But the problem isn’t going to go away any time soon.

The typical process that Factory Fix goes through is a successful, all-encompassing partnership:

An initial meeting to determine what you are spending recruiting resources on currently
Goals are discussed to ensure that Factory Fix is approaching the problem with the correct solutions
Factory fix tailors their service to the company’s need and they even provide a free trial for new clients
Our customer success team becomes part of the client recruiting team, essentially
We have an almost lost generation where people have been pushed away from going into manufacturing and it was seen as a last resort. The labor shortage today has fostered an environment where individuals who learn a master trade early in life get can their pick of jobs or even become entrepreneurs themselves. Manufacturing is an extremely useful job where you can make 80-100k a year with hands-on training or shorter certification programs.
