WHAT DO BIM CANDIDATES WANT?

With good BIM talent so scarce, knowing what matters to people you want to retain and attract matters to you.

To find out what good people are currently looking for in a job and test the latest theories on generational changes, we have conducted a quick, ‘toe-in-the-water’ poll on social media and the results are in.

One thing they show is how useful the information is and the benefit of getting more robust data. Fortunately, DBE.careers is a busy site for BIM professionals, with over 1,000 new users every month. So, we will be launching a full survey to understand in detail the impact of COVID-19 on attitudes to job security and job satisfaction at different career stages, across the generations. We hope it will give clients some better insights for acquiring and retaining good BIM talent.

 

ABOUT THE QUICK SURVEY:

We asked our BIM community, when they look for a new job, how they rank the following:

  • Career progression
  • Well-being
  • Salary

 

For the generational perspective, we broke the results down into the following categories:

  • Generation Z (born 1997+)
  • Millennial (1981 to 1996)
  • Generation X (1965 to 1980)
  • Baby Boomers (1946 to 1964)

 

THE RESULTS IN SUMMARY:

  • If you’re looking to hire a Millennial, their focus is equally on career progression and money. Not well-being.
  • If you’re looking to hire Generation Z, all 3 priorities are equally important.
  • Gen X are more money focussed.
  • Baby Boomers are more ‘well-being’ centric.

 

If you would like more detail, please email support@dbe.careers and we’ll be happy to help.

 

If you are looking for good BIM talent, this article on smarter advertising will help you combine insights from this poll to attract elusive BIM and digital construction specialists.

I am determined to help anyone enthusiastic about their career in digital construction make the most of it. For 20 years I specialised in architectural recruitment before nailing my colours to the BIM mast in 2008. Hopefully, I have made a 'positive' difference to a few people's careers in that time. What I have learned over the years is that too much of the genuine talent is squandered. There is not enough information out there to help. It's out there but not shared. So, my solution is to find it and share it in this free knowledge 'hub' for anyone working in the Digital Built Environment - or thinking about joining us. If it doesn't deliver what you want - let me know!
