Jobs in Manufacturing: Executive Recruitment and the impact of Web Technology.

A myriad of technology is now available to Executive Recruitment
Organisations to help store, locate and identify high calibre
candidates for their client’s recruitment projects.
Sophisticated recruitment specific databases and web search
technology helps the executive recruitment consultant to speed
up the initial phases of the search and take the legwork out of
exercises such as qualifying qualifications and experience
gained within specific industries. The question then is, do
executives who are looking for new opportunities within the
Manufacturing and Engineering marketplace take these new
developments into consideration when putting together their CV?

Traditionally, your CV is a list of the things you have achieved
in your career to date. It shows a list of your qualifications,
your roles and responsibilities along with your main
achievements. As web technology has impacted upon the volume of
responses being generated to each executive and senior
management vacancy, and the way these applications are
“pre-screened,” is important to consider the content of your CV
further. “Peppering” your CV with phrases or words that that
might be searched for in Boolean driven screening mechanisms
should now be a norm when writing your CV. It might be obvious
to people from within your industry sector for example, what
your company manufactures, what the client base is, what
manufacturing process you use, what engineering technology you
employ on site, what lean manufacturing tools you use- six
sigma, kaizan, kanban, poka yoke, OEE, takt time, 5S, agile
manufacturing, SMED, TPM, JIT, OTIF etc, but in order for your
CV to be highlighted by the tools mentioned above, it is
important that this information is present within your CV.
