The Workforce Challenge in Manufacturing

As seasoned professionals retire and the demand for skilled talent grows, manufacturers face increasing challenges in recruiting and retaining employees.
Attraction
You don’t know how to reach the core audience you need for recruitment.
Qualification
Too few candidates for the job means you will hire people who don’t have the skill set you need and don’t buy into your culture.
Onboarding
Friction in onboarding with technical skills but often, the lack of cultural fit or buy-in to your mission, vision, and values.
Scaling
This adds up to an employee who doesn’t launch and can’t be optimized as a fit to help you succeed.

Why Recruitment Marketing?

The traditional job posting approach no longer works—manufacturers must actively market their workplace to attract top talent.

Workforce branding is a strategic way to position your company as an employer of choice. By shaping your company's reputation and culture, you can:

  • Showcase a positive work environment
  • Highlight career growth opportunities
  • Appeal to younger generations entering the workforce

Manufacturers often focus marketing efforts on generating leads and sales, but effective marketing is just as critical for recruiting talent. Leveraging digital marketing, video storytelling, and social media can help manufacturers connect with job seekers where they are: online.

The Impact of Recruitment Marketing

Without recruitment marketing:

  • Struggles to attract qualified candidates
  • Generic job postings that blend in with competitors
  • High turnover and disengaged employees
  • Limited awareness of company culture and benefits

With Strategic Recruitment Marketing:

  • A strong employer brand that draws top talent
  • Engaging content that resonates with job seekers
  • Improved employee retention through cultural alignment
  • A competitive edge in attracting the next generation of workers
