Airbus continuously needs qualified specialists among other things holding an engineering or bachelor's degree for its project process management functions. Staffing these White Collar positions carries specific challenges that standardized recruiting does not solve.
White Collar Recruitment at Airbus
Airbus distributes White Collar job requisitions to multiple staffing partners in parallel. For project process management roles requiring an engineering or bachelor's degree, numerous providers compete for the same limited candidate pool.
Requirements emerge on short notice. Airbus needs specialists with a defined profile and entry level, often within tight deadlines. A staffing partner that only reacts to job postings loses in this competition.
Added Complexity in IT-Adjacent Engineering Roles
Within the White Collar segment, IT positions carry additional challenges. Access to sensitive data and systems requires additional intensive security vetting and thorough review of a candidate's professional background.
A database match between CVs and job profiles does not capture a candidate's career goals or whether they fit technically and personally into an existing Airbus team. For highly specialized engineering roles, this is not sufficient.
The ARTS Group Approach
Clear Strategic Focus
For Airbus, ARTS Group set a focus on project and process management within the white collar segment, where demand is strongest. This focus allows the team to build in-depth expertise for engineering and bachelor-level roles within this segment. ARTS Group's Blue Collar recruitment for Airbus follows a separate approach.
Individual Candidate Outreach Over Mass Postings
ARTS Group reactivates inbound applications from candidates whose professional circumstances may have changed since the last contact. Job postings are tailored individually across platforms to achieve outreach that stands out against competing staffing partners.
For engineering and IT positions, ARTS Group HR managers bring in-depth technical knowledge, including operating systems, application software, and industry-specific requirements. This knowledge enables communication with candidates on a technical level and builds trust throughout the process.
Opportunity-Oriented Communication
Airbus adjusts conditions during active placement processes. ARTS Group responds with clear, opportunity-oriented communication in its communication with candidates rather than emphasizing restrictions, additional deployment opportunities at Airbus are highlighted.
After each placement, the team reviews the experience from the process. These lessons learned inform deadline planning, profile selection, and soft-skill assessment in future placements.
