Sometimes the problem isn't the candidates.

It's the brief.

You want:

10 years' experience.
Specialised technical knowledge.
Industry experience.
A proven track record.
Leadership ability.

And then the package doesn't quite match the expectation.

That's where things become difficult.

A good recruiter should be able to have that conversation with you before you spend months looking for someone who doesn't exist at that package.

Because recruitment isn't about telling a client what they want to hear.

Sometimes it's about telling them what they need to hear.

Finding a good Field Service Engineer isn't as simple as finding someone who can fix equipment.

You're looking for technical knowledge, problem-solving ability, industry understanding and someone who can work confidently with complex medical equipment.

And then there's the question of fit.

Does the person fit the company?
Does the role fit the candidate?
Does the package match the expectations?

That's where recruitment becomes more than finding CVs.

It's about understanding what you're actually looking for.

If you've been searching without finding the right person, let's talk.

You can receive 50 CVs and still not find the right person.

Because recruitment isn't really about how many candidates you can find.

It's about finding someone who fits:

The role.
The technical requirements.
The company.
The culture.
And the expectations on both sides.

More CVs don't necessarily solve the problem. Better-fit candidates do.

If you're struggling to find the right person, let's have a conversation before you advertise again.

Recruiting great people is only half the job.

Keeping them is where the real advantage comes in.

Five things make a difference:

Clear expectations.
Strong leadership.
Career development.
Recognition.
Good communication.

People want to know what is expected of them, where they're going and that their contribution matters.

Recruitment gets people through the door. Leadership gives them a reason to stay.

PHASE TWO: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE COMPANY.

You need a Field Service Engineer.

You know what you want.

You know what the role requires.

But have you looked at whether the package matches the expectation?

Sometimes a position has a budget simply because that's the number allocated to it — while the requirements for the person you're looking for are through the roof.

And this is where things get interesting.

Salary isn't simply about what the company wants to pay.

It's also about what the right candidate expects.

Somewhere in the middle, there needs to be a realistic conversation.

That's where having a recruiter who understands the role, the market and the candidate can make a real difference.

Because nobody benefits from spending weeks recruiting for a position that doesn't fit the budget, the candidate or the reality of the role.

Get the conversation right first. Then find the right person.

This is Part 2 of our 3-part conversation.

When a good person resigns, the first reaction is often:

“We need to replace them.”

But perhaps the better question is:

“Why did they leave?”

Was there no room to grow?

Did they feel undervalued?

Was communication poor?

Did they lack support?

Sometimes the recruitment problem isn't actually a recruitment problem.

If you're constantly replacing good people, look at what happens after they join.

The cost of a bad hire is rarely just the salary.

It's the management time.

The lost productivity.

The impact on the team.

The customer relationships.

The missed opportunities.

And eventually, starting the recruitment process all over again.

That's why recruitment shouldn't be about finding someone.

It's about finding the right someone.

Particularly when you're hiring for specialised medical technology roles.

Getting it right the first time matters.

DON’T TALK YOURSELF OUT OF THE OPPORTUNITY.

How many times have you looked at a job advert and thought:

“I don't have the degree.”
“I don't have all the experience.”
“I'm probably not what they're looking for.”

Job adverts can sometimes feel like a wish list — and yes, some requirements really are requirements.

But that doesn't always mean you shouldn't apply.

If you have the core skills, the right attitude and you genuinely believe you can do the job, give yourself the opportunity to be considered.

Because if you don't try, the answer is always no.

You don't have to tick every box to be worth a conversation.

Be honest. Be realistic. Put the correct information on your CV — and give yourself a chance.

Salary matters.

But it's not the only thing good candidates are considering.

They're also asking:

Can I grow here?

Who will I be working for?

Is there a future for me?

Will my contribution be recognised?

Does this feel like a company I want to be part of?

If you're struggling to attract good people, perhaps the question isn't:

“Where are the candidates?”

Maybe it's:

“What are we offering them?”

Here's a question worth asking:

Would you apply for your own job advert?

If the advert is too generic…

The requirements are unrealistic…

The responsibilities sound like three jobs…

And there's no clear opportunity for growth…

Good candidates may simply keep scrolling.

Remember, your job advert is often their first impression of your company.

And just like you're evaluating them…

They're evaluating you.
