Data centers are the backbone of the digital economy and nearly 60% of current operators today are having trouble finding qualified candidates.

Industrial & Natural Resources
Solutions to Attracting Industrial Talent
External partnerships play a critical role in finding hard-to-find talent within the Industrial & Natural Resources Industries, and it is no wonder. In a recent survey from the Workforce Institute, 76% of manufacturers face challenges in finding qualified workers despite production capacity and revenue improvements. The study of over 300 manufacturing HR leaders revealed that filling open positions takes longer, with 66% reporting increased hiring time. The survey also highlighted a rise in employee turnover, with 62% of respondents reporting an increase. Additionally, 57% noted an increase in unfilled jobs compared to the previous year, and 54% reported an annual turnover rate higher than 20%.
At Level 5 Partners, we are addressing this challenge with workforce tools that begin as soon as we are engaged with a leadership search. From the first consulting engagement, we will work to understand your business and the drivers of past turnover. We will build a search strategy that combines an intake and assessment strategy that builds on a company’s current success and identifies obstacles from past failures. We will develop a comprehensive candidate brief to attract highly sought-after talent, and we will continue the process with a tailored interviewing process. Our consulting process continues with a deeper understanding of the executive’s IQ and EQ, allowing the hiring committee to more deeply appreciate the executive characteristics that may have been hidden during a standard interview.
Unlike the majority of competing firms today, we don’t see our job ending on day 1. We believe that to ensure optimal performance, a multi-month integration is helpful to ensure all obstacles and challenges are addressed during the critical induction phase. Our results deliver improved productivity, reduced attrition, and a stronger workforce with the existing employees.
