I'm curious what type of engineers you are seeing struggling to find jobs. My first question is are they willing to relocate to hot job markets.
We have hired a few hundred engineers in the past few years and struggled to find candidates and we are fine with taking a new grad with zero engineering job experience. (Zero job experience of any kind is a red flag and I'm shocked at how many 23-24 year-old college grads have never worked a job for a paycheck)
It is also shocking how many absolutely bomb the first interview. Late, Zero enthusiasm, zero knowledge of the company, zero ability to coherently answer a simple interview question like "When you are faced with a problem, what do you do?"
My wife had an interview candidate flat out say they didn't want the job.
Q: Why are you interested in working for our company?
A: I'm not - my parents said I had to get a job.
