What Our Experts Are Seeing in the Market

Embedded Software -
David Woodrow

'Whilst certain software languages were in high demand throughout the 2010s, demand for these skills – especially in the contract market after the IR35 reforms – has meant engineers have had to adapt. Being a true polyglot developer who can apply sound computer science and design pattern principles in any environment is a good starting point for this, as is upskilling on cloud technologies, however getting exposure to lower-level software is a trick I often feel several people are missing.'

Industrial Automation -
Miles Hill

'Our expertise spans across a variety of skill sets, to provide clients with Robotics & Automation Engineering, PLC Programming and Embedded/application Software Development personnel. As we enter January 2025, we’ve observed a positive trend in market demand, mainly driven by the accelerating digitalisation of the manufacturing sector. This shift is largely fuelled by manufacturers’ increased investment in automation and MES solutions, which are critical for improving operational efficiency, data flow, and overall production control.'

Security & Risk -
Martin Shields

'Team I&F is focused on bringing IT to the Industrial world. Industry 4.0 is having a big impact on the world, and the team is focused on finding candidates that help bridge the gap between the latest technology and the more traditional engineering environments. For example, with cyber security threats becoming increasingly common, the team are looking to supply professionals who can protect their clients.'

Data Centres -
Jake Edwards

'My role here at g2 primarily focuses on supporting clients in the data center industry. We focus on placing the top 10-20% of professionals in the industry across the European market, including but not limited to: Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Project Managers and Design Managers to name a few.'

Case studies

Data Centre – Austria
Rapid growth within Austria’s data centre sector has created an immediate need for high-quality talent….

Data Centre - Austria

Challenge

Rapid growth in Austria’s data centre sector created an immediate need for g2 Recruitments client to source experienced on-site Electrical Supervisors, Electrical Testers, and Mechanical Fitters. Projects were delivered against tight timelines, strict Austrian and EU regulatory requirements, with a strong focus on ensuring all assurance criteria were met efficiently.

Electrical Supervisors required additional support to manage compliance while coordinating multiple contractors and maintaining programme momentum. Electrical Testers were tasked with delivering accurate, repeatable results under significant time pressure, often within live operational environments. At the same time, Mechanical Fitters faced integration challenges, ensuring cooling, containment, and mechanical systems aligned precisely with the electrical infrastructure.

Without a structured and coordinated resourcing solution, the project faced increased risk of delays, rework, and potential operational impact.

 

Outcome 

g2 Recruitment supported the project by strengthening delivery across all critical roles. By deploying experienced Electrical Supervisors and Testers with proven knowledge of Austrian data centre standards, shift coverage was improved, and testing and inspection processes were standardised. Mechanical Fitters benefited from coordinated scheduling, and clearer interface management with electrical teams, reducing reducing clashes during installation and commissioning phases.

As a result, g2 Recruitment’s client saw measurable improvements in project efficiency and quality. Electrical Supervisors gained greater control over site activities and compliance, Testers achieved faster commissioning cycles with fewer defects, and Mechanical Fitters completed installations with reduced rework and smoother system integration.

Overall, the Data Centre projects were delivered with a higher standard of safety, through improved collaboration, and on schedule, resulting in strengthened, long-term, operational resilience

Data Centre – Germany & Spain
Tasked with securing and retaining critical skill sets across multiple BESS centre sites in Germany and Spain….

Data Centre - Germany & Spain

Challenge

g2 Recruitment was tasked with delivering a solution to its client’s challenge of securing and retaining critical skill sets across multiple BESS centre sites in Germany and Spain.

Rather than building permanent internal teams in each location, the client was specifically seeking external contract workers who could be mobilised quickly and scaled in line with project demand.

This approach required access to a flexible workforce with proven experience in mission-critical environments, capable of integrating seamlessly into existing site teams, and operating under established project controls.

The client required consistent access to candidates, including experienced Site Managers and Engineers, Project Managers, Electrical Supervisors, and HSE Advisors to support simultaneous project delivery, while maintaining high safety, quality, and operational standards.

Outcome 

g2 delivered a solution centered on flexible contractors, enabling the client to scale resources in line with project phases and timelines.

Vetted contractors with proven data centre and mission-critical experience were mobilised, ensuring all candidates met technical, safety, and compliance requirements. Standardised onboarding and role alignment ensured contractors could integrate quickly into site teams and operate effectively from day one.

Through the utilisation of g2’s vast contractor network and the strategic coordination of workforce planning by g2 consultants across multiple sites, continuity was ensured, project risks mitigated, and delays to project completion minimised.

By providing a reliable, scalable solution to meet critical skill demands while upholding consistent delivery and HSE standards across multiple countries, g2 Recruitment established a synchronous, highly coordinated relationship with their client.

Leidos
Becoming a strategic recruitment partner to a global logistics and supply chain organisation, for their first contract in the UK…

Leidos

Challenge
After engaging successfully with g2 at a previous company, the HR Director of a large US client approached g2 to work in partnership on a UK recruitment campaign.

The client were in the process of bidding for a major government contract valued at £13 billion and required help to develop a robust talent acquisition plan for the UK market.

This plan would require the client hiring over 300 positions over 4 years across a number of disciplines including IT, Finance, Operations, Quality and Senior Appointments.

Solution
g2 developed a recruitment plan for 2014-2018 that mapped out the real cost, advised on UK salaries and built a pool of the best candidates in advance of the contract win to ensure our client could deliver immediately if they won the work.

A dedicated team of 3 consultants and a resource were chosen to work exclusively on the diverse and rare skill sets required to deliver the clients unique IT based solution, looking first for permanent and providing contractors if this was not an option.

Pivotal to the solution was the depth and breadth of g2’s database, as well as the considerable advertising campaign to reach additional people, a cost that was built into the fees.

Result
Through a combination of market knowledge, dedicated resource and a strict selection process, g2 placed 60 staff in a short space of time.

Only one candidate turned down the offer during this intense spell, highlighting the benefits of rigorous candidate management and the methodical approach employed by g2.

This was achieved through well managed communication between HR, hiring managers and our consultants and ensured excellent staff retention during a critical phase of the contract.

As a result, the client have made g2 the recruitment partner of choice, a position held to this day.

By quickly getting to grips with the real challenges the client faced, an exceptional quality of service and was received by our client and the client was able to focus on delivering the contract for the MOD.
