In the dynamic landscape of 2016, I embarked on an extraordinary journey – spearheading the formation of one of the industry's first global autonomous driving teams. This endeavour led me to hire over 400 supremely skilled engineers from 17 different countries, providing me with invaluable insights into the talent terrain within the automotive sector.
Key Discoveries Revealed:
Amid the escalating technological connectivity of vehicles, cybersecurity emerged as a paramount concern. My role as an executive search specialist took me to find the best professionals in the gaming industry as this function was totally absent in the automotive industry.
The ascent of ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) opened new vistas. This transformational technology revolutionized the industry providing safer commutes. Software engineers were obliged to meet different quality standards while onboarding.
AI is having a major impact on the automotive industry. AI is being used to develop self-driving cars, improve traffic management, and create personalized driving experiences. This is creating new challenges for companies in terms of attracting and retaining talent with the skills and experience to work in this field.
Recent market research confirms that there is a lot of mobility in the automotive industry. Talent is constantly moving from one company to another, in search of better opportunities. The standard retention rate in the industry is around 50%, which means that half of all employees leave their jobs within 2 years.
In a globally interwoven automotive industry, the pursuit of excellence mandates the acquisition and retention of exceptional international talent. Our role as an executive search specialist places businesses on the trajectory of success in assembling global teams.
Beyond my accomplishments in crafting a worldwide autonomous driving team, our expertise extends to a profound understanding of the automotive world and its intricate talent dynamics. Bolstered by an expansive global network and mastery of contemporary sourcing and assessment platforms, we curate fitting talent with a 12-month guarantee, coupled with a retention rate exceeding 90%.
