Manufacturing hiring needs a new approach

Experienced workers are hard to replace

Skilled machinists, maintenance technicians, and operators take years to develop. Waiting until someone leaves to find their replacement puts production at risk.

Technical talent exists outside traditional recruiting

Students are already learning machining, welding, CAD, robotics, and electrical systems. But many aren’t searching job boards or familiar with your company.

The next generation doesn’t know what you make

Young people may never encounter your company or understand the technical careers available there, even when they live just a few miles away.

Finding the right fit takes more than a resume

Technical skills can be taught. Identifying people with mechanical aptitude, curiosity, reliability, and a genuine interest in the work is often harder.

GoPursue makes local manufacturing talent easier to find

Technical education programs are preparing young people with skills that align directly with manufacturing careers. GoPursue helps you connect those existing talent sources to the roles your workforce needs to fill.

How Dominion Energy doubled its qualified candidate pool.

The challenge

Dominion needed a stronger source of qualified candidates for a critical operator role that traditional recruiting struggled to fill.

The approach

GoPursue expanded the employer’s reach beyond its existing recruiting channels, connected the opportunity with relevant early-career talent and helped identify candidates with the potential to succeed.

The result: 2X the qualified candidate pool

11 qualified candidates, compared with 5 previously.

People + Process + Technology
Built for the realities of utility workforce development

Build on what’s already working.

Career fairs, internships, school relationships and community partnerships don’t need to be replaced. GoPursue helps turn those efforts into a more consistent source of candidates for the roles you need to fill.

Local talent matters.

For production and technical roles, the strongest talent source is often close to the facility. GoPursue helps identify relevant local programs and people already developing the skills you need.

Every facility is different.

A precision machining shop has different hiring needs than an automated production facility. Your talent strategy should reflect the equipment, skills, training programs, and workforce needs of each location.

Your team can’t be everywhere.

Researching technical schools, building relationships, attending career fairs, and following up with candidates takes time. GoPursue combines technology with hands-on support to keep the work moving.
