Glen Callum gain “top marks” recruiting for world leader in precision press technologies.

Glen Callum Associates Ltd have partnered up with world class, high performance, precision press manufacturing experts Bruderer UK to deliver a NEW and successful recruitment service. A service not only designed to source candidates, but also to deliver engaging “bite sized” video interviews and accurate candidate testing. Resulting in hiring decisions being formed from a fact based process and not solely interview performance.

Combining professional video interviewing with independent factual based testing delivers results

Glen Callum Director Glen Shepherd said “Working with the Bruderer management team we have been able to utilise our powerful searching tools to identify excellent engineering talent. We have searched across several allied sectors to help combat the diminishing engineering talent pools within the press tool industry.”

Shepherd goes onto explain “Using our video interview platform we have supported Bruderer through the video interview stages, providing a full screening process visible to the management team. We were able to engage and interact with candidates in “bite sized” interview sessions hosted by Glen Callum Associates. Happy with the shortlist, we then used our external business psychologist and testing expert to confirm our screening by means of independent testing. Once the results were confirmed Bruderer also conducted a practical engineering test to ensure both mechanical and electrical qualities were up to the required standard”.

We have found our perfect recruitment partner for engineering

Adrian Haller MD of Bruderer UK commented “Glen and the team have really changed my view on recruitment, and they are a credit to their industry. I had become disillusioned with the whole recruiting world looking for low hanging fruit and minimum work for maximum return.

Within our sector of highly skilled mechatronics and precision engineering, the talent pool is in high demand with very few engineers available, it proved a very big challenge to close posts for our specific requirement, which saw most recruitment companies fail!

Glen and the team conducted rigorous in-depth research assessing our requirements, prior to introducing any candidates. This approach ensured an efficient recruitment process maximising the best use of our time. Additionally, the video interviewing platform was an excellent tool, particularly with Glen’s vast experience in the whole interviewing process which enabled him to get the best out of the candidates we met. We were also able to safely cater for the COVID situation. Once the interview process was complete the Glen Callum team evaluated further by extra testing via a professional independent body. This in turn drilled down into the characteristic of individuals, which helped with the final job offer, and we have found invaluable to the process of recruitment”.

“I feel that Bruderer has found the perfect recruitment partner and through the Glen Callum team we have recently secured electro-mechanical service engineers, technical sales people and a head accountant”.
