Comment on: Engineer shortage blamed for Highway Agency cost hikes
I hardly ever make comments on published articals but feel this is a ridiculous thing to come out and say. I work for a professional recruitment agency that specialise in engineering professionals, the Highways Agency have always had people available to recruit and we have indeed tried on many occasions to contact them with suitable candidates, the problem being their recruitment service is stuck in the dark ages and it is near impossible to follow a simple process with them due to ridiculous policies and procedures. Their salaries are about the same as the private sector and it is simply the procedures that are failing the company. A review and consultation of their recruitment policy would dramatically change their shortcomings. In fact contact me and we will provide you with all the engineering skills you need before Christmas. There are well enough well qualified highways engineers to go around so stop making excuses and hold your hands up.
