Dallas Executive Search Firm Advises Engineering Companies

(Dallas, Texas) The economy is recovering and will eventually spring back to life. During this slow period, many infrastructure projects have been cancelled, reduced in scope or delayed. In an environment such as this, it is very difficult to think about adding new project managers, client directors, or firm management leaders.

However, Carl Taylor, president of executive search firm Carl J. Taylor & Co. (http://www.carltaylorco.com), notes that the growth oriented Engineering firms are taking advantage of this economic respite to evaluate their management teams and make key additions or changes so they are prepared for the inevitable upturn in the global economy. As difficult as it may be, these firms want the right people on board before the business cycle picks up to ensure their ability to successfully identify, bid on, and win the new projects.

“Engineering firms may see their business ebb and flow with the economy and/or other market factors. Nevertheless, even during uncertain economic times, most firms must address voids and/or inefficiencies in their project and management teams,” says Carl. The scarcity of qualified engineers in the United States, compounded with the retirement of the baby boomers and the inconsistent recruiting practices in the past, has contributed to the rising challenges of finding the right professional to fill senior-level management positions.

While internal recruitment departments are vital to the existence of a company, they are often unable to find the right top level hires. As Taylor puts it, “To be successful in recruiting the top talent to your team, you need an experienced recruiter who understands the differences in professional services firms, areas of specialization, and culture of a company.”

With more than two decades of experience in executive search, Carl J. Taylor & Co. has established expertise in completing search assignments for all sizes of firms in need of directors, managers, and project leaders. The company has identified and attracted engineering professionals for clients in Texas and around the U.S., especially those excelling in water, wastewater, solid waste, and electric transmission.
