INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
Currently, the origin of the long-term competitivity of the most advanced countries is mainly in their industry.
Its effect carries over into the other sectors; the type of employment which it generates, and its capacity for innovation and for extending the technology which it uses throughout society, make industry a leading and essential activity for the growth of productivity in any economy and for its potential for growth in the long term.
The industrial sector is immersed in its fourth revolution which – like the previous ones – is going to transform organisations, make some jobs disappear but generate new ones, and redefine many of the professional profiles as we know them today.
In this new environment which is changing so much, recruitment and management of talent will be paramount. We know that we need to bring in professional people with new skills, with creative abilities, and who are able to continue in permanent training, to deal with changes and to acquire technological expertise.
Our experience in working closely with a great variety of industrial companies, has made us experts in searching for executives for each type of company, and enables us to guarantee the success of our procedures.
Our presence on the Board of Governors of the Association of Industrial Engineers of Catalonia the duties undertaken by Ignasi Rafel as Chairman of the Association’s Consell de Formació i Ocupació, and the experience of the members of our Advisory Board enable us to be always up to date in this domain.
