A number of massive projects in the state had created huge opportunities for skilled labourers, but their completion led to the <a href=\"https:\/\/sourceable.net\/50000-jobs-go-mining-construction-boom-ends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">loss<\/a> of 46,000 full-time jobs between 2013-15. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2018-07-09\/fears-of-robot-jobs-takeover-creating-wa-skills-shortage\/9950368\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Rebeiro<\/a>, Major Account Manager at Perth-based agency Programmed, a major provider of staff to the mining industry, says that unemployed workers moved into other industries or returned to their home states as a result.<\/p>\n<p>The sector is now recovering, which Rebeiro says is because \u201ceverything is happening at once: production has increased, automation projects are in play, new pits in existing mines are being developed and new mines are maturing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Confidence is returning to businesses operating in the space and, according to a recent ABC news <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2018-07-09\/fears-of-robot-jobs-takeover-creating-wa-skills-shortage\/9950368\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a>, this is fuelling high demand for skilled labour, particularly heavy mobile maintenance workers, truck operators, drillers and boilermakers.<\/p>\n<p>However, the exodus of workers in the sector following the downturn means there is now a significant talent shortage. Consequently, mining company Glencore&#8217;s chief operating officer for North Queensland, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/rural\/2018-07-10\/mining-industry-ramps-up-efforts-to-recruit-school-leavers\/9959272\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matt O&#8217;Neill<\/a>, says recruitment at all levels of seniority is tough: &#8220;It&#8217;s almost 100 percent employment in the mining industry again so if we&#8217;re looking for a geo-mechanic or a mining engineer, it&#8217;s highly unlikely that they&#8217;re sitting here unemployed.&#8221; How can your agency attract the skilled labour that clients are calling out for?<\/p>\n<h3>Address Candidate Fears About Automation<\/h3>\n<p>A number of recruiters, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2018-07-09\/fears-of-robot-jobs-takeover-creating-wa-skills-shortage\/9950368\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Kent<\/a>, State Director for Western Australia at Hays, believe that an unfounded fear of automation is contributing to the talent shortage. Kent claims that younger workers appear to view manual jobs as occupations with a limited future and are adjusting their job searches accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>He says this is due to \u201csome scary reports about what jobs will be automated.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2018-07-09\/fears-of-robot-jobs-takeover-creating-wa-skills-shortage\/9950368\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graeme Richards<\/a>, the owner of a mining service business, agrees: \u201cLooking on social media, you see comments that say, \u2018don\u2019t bother applying for dump truck jobs \u2013 they are all automated now\u2019 and that is not the case.\u201d As a result, he observes that while sales of mining equipment and trucks have increased over the last six months, agencies just can\u2019t find enough individuals to operate the machinery.<\/p>\n<p>This means that recruiters need to actively tackle misconceptions if they are to sell the prospects of positions to jobseekers. The reality is that many sectors lack the capacity to automate: Chris Kent notes that in Western Australia, \u201cthere are only three or four companies that are in a position to automate \u2013 the big iron ore miners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also doubts that others will soon follow suit, least of all the gold and lithium mines, and explains that \u201cwith the life of those projects, it\u2019s unlikely they are going to go to full scale automation any time soon.\u201d This view is shared by Graeme Richards, who adds, &#8220;There are hundreds of mine sites that do not and would not automate dump trucks because of the costs involved and they are going to continue on with drivers as they have done in the past.&#8221; So, going forward, Ensure that your agency\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/blog\/2017\/10\/magnificent-seven-top-tips-effective-recruitment-marketing\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">marketing<\/a> material dispels these myths.<\/p>\n<h3>Consider Less Obvious Talent Pools<\/h3>\n<p>With so many of the mining sector\u2019s past workers now employed elsewhere, a clear option is to re-target again. However, you can also tap into less obvious talent pools. New <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afr.com\/lifestyle\/arts-and-entertainment\/books\/blue-collar-frayed-20180326-h0xyog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research<\/a> reveals that blue-collar, middle-aged workers face significant discrimination when looking for jobs, simply because hirers assume that they will be less physically able. This is a key opportunity for your agency to work with clients and demonstrate the benefits of shortlisting mature candidates with plenty of experience.<\/p>\n<p>Another overlooked talent pool: women. Recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2018-05-22\/dig-the-changing-face-of-mining-as-women-make-inroads\/9786020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statistics<\/a> reveal that mining is the most male-dominated industry in Australia, with women comprising just 16.1 per cent of all employees. If you actively target women by partnering with initiatives such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ausimm.com.au\/content\/default.aspx?ID=236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Women in Mining Network<\/a>, your agency will be able to offer them employment opportunities that few competitors will be.<\/p>\n<p>One further significant source of blue-collar talent for the mining industry is school leavers. In Queensland, this important demographic is being <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/rural\/2018-07-10\/mining-industry-ramps-up-efforts-to-recruit-school-leavers\/9959272\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">targeted<\/a> through a school holiday programme which enables students to meet industry workers, with a view to raising the number of young people who see mining as a career of choice.<\/p>\n<p>While many will seek university paths, such as those who pursue an engineering career within the sector, potential labourers can be recruited by agencies who forge connections with \u2013 and market to &#8211; schools and other educational establishments.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that the skills shortage is proving to be a challenge for employers in the mining industry, but there are plenty of opportunities for agencies that can source and attract skilled labourers to meet this demand. Is your agency primed to seize this opportunity?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Need tips on finding hidden talent in other sectors?
