In today\u2019s job market, we have what is commonly referred to as a \u2018candidate-short market\u2019. This means candidates are able to pick and choose the job they take, and employers need to work to engage candidates, rather than the other way around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.05em;\">This is incredibly important when it comes to plant operators, as the Manufacturing, Transport, and Logistics category had the largest increase in job ads in Australia in February with a 5.3% increase, and Trades and Services followed with a 2.5% increase (Seek Employment Report).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.05em;\">So how do you attract and retain plant operators?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Highlight Your Employee Value Proposition<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Know Your Attraction Strategy<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Set Yourself Apart<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Care About Your Candidates<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Follow these four steps outlined below to attract and retain your plant operators!<\/p>\n<p><em>If you\u2019d like to know more, or like some help implementing these strategies, <a href=\"\/ca\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact Scout Talent today.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>1. Highlight Your Employee Value Proposition<\/h2>\n<p>Your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) can help you both attract, and retain top talent, but what is it, and how do you make it effective?<\/p>\n<p>Your EVP encompasses the benefits that your organisation offers to its team members. Most organisations have clear customer value propositions, however they don\u2019t take the time to analyse what value they can offer to their people.<\/p>\n<p>An EVP can include things like training and development programs, management tracks, and other tangible plans. It can also include values and principles, like having an open-door policy, or transparency across your business.<br \/>\nHaving <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/solve-the-top-three-talent-acquisition-challenges-with-employer-branding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a clear EVP will encourage new employees to join your organisation<\/a>, as post-covid, the values of an organisation are becoming much more important to candidates.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to make sure your organisation is living its EVP as well, and that it is not just words. Keeping this front of mind will help retain your staff, as they will feel valued, and like your organisation keeps its promises to its employees.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p-1 border mb-2\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<h4 class=\"text-center\">Do\u2019s<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Have a clear and accurate EVP<\/li>\n<li>Ask your employees how they feel about your EVP<\/li>\n<li>Revisit your EVP regularly to ensure it reflects your organisation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<h4 class=\"text-center\">Don\u2019ts<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Forget about your EVP<\/li>\n<li>Design an EVP that is not realistic<\/li>\n<li>Create your EVP as a tick-box exercise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Scout Talent\u2019s Employer Branding specialists help organisations to attract and retain the best talent with the use of compelling EVPs.

Know Your Advertising Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>With the amount of job ads in the industry continuing to climb, set yourself apart by knowing your advertising strategy. Focus on what sets you apart from your competitors, and position yourself as the employer of choice. Describe to your prospective candidates what your organisation and your team culture are like, and how their qualities will add value to your business.<\/p>\n<p>As well as, clearly stating the skills and experience you\u2019re looking for, your organisation&#8217;s purpose, and what\u2019s on offer; be sure to use common words and job titles, to ensure your ad performs well with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/ca\/news\/job-ad-copywriting-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In addition to what is in your ad<\/a>, your advertising strategy should include where and when you advertise. Using industry-specific job boards and groups, as well as optimising the time you publish your ads is important to their success.<\/p>\n<p>Active advertising is something most businesses do, but it only targets approximately 20% of the market. To target the other 80%, try passive strategies like having a referral program, <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/how-social-media-talent-pooling-helps-you-hire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">utilising social media<\/a>, tapping into your candidate pools, and conducting targeted headhunting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p-1 border mb-2\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<h4 class=\"text-center\">Do\u2019s<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Be specific about the role and what you\u2019re looking for<\/li>\n<li>Advertise salary and benefits<\/li>\n<li>Use common job titles and keywords throughout your ad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<h4 class=\"text-center\">Don\u2019ts<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Forget about your soft benefits<\/li>\n<li>Post during high-traffic times<\/li>\n<li>Overlook your passive candidates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Learn more about Scout Talent\u2019s Active and Passive advertising strategies <a href=\"\/ca\/service\/recruitment-marketing-advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>3. Set Yourself Apart<\/h2>\n<p>A key part of hiring and keeping your plant operators is making sure you set yourself apart from your competitors. This is done by showcasing your benefits, which include salary, in a compelling way.<\/p>\n<p>This is incredibly important when hiring in the manufacturing and trades industries, as salary and compensation is the number one driver for workers in these industries, labelled as \u2018most important\u2019 by 33% of workers last month. While work-life balance is a distant second place at 20.7%, and career development rounding out the top 3 drivers for candidates at 9.4% (Seek &#8211; Laws of Attraction).<\/p>\n<div class=\"p-1 border mb-2\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<h4 class=\"text-center\">Do\u2019s<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Get specific about any bonus, commission, or incentive schemes<\/li>\n<li>Your research!

Care About Your Candidates<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve advertised your roles and your applicants come rolling in, managing them effectively is the next step to attracting the right staff for your organisation. Candidates in today&#8217;s market are often involved in multiple interview processes at once, and a decision can come down to speed and care from their prospective employer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/ca\/news\/recruitment-experts-choose-right-candidate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The way you treat prospective employees<\/a> can affect your employer brand positively or negatively.
