The Solution for Talent Scarcity in Manufacturing Industries

A couple of weeks ago, we have come across this news piece by Abhiraj Ganguli which talked about the dearth of CXO-level talent across Indian manufacturing industries. As we huddled around our CEO Lakshmi Narasimha Moorthy K to read this article, the expression on all of our faces said only one thing. “Our platform nicheBrains is trying to fill this very gap for manufacturing industries.”?

The Talent Scarcity?

Mentioning a report by ET, the news piece outlined a set of reasons and challenges which are creating a scarcity of senior management talent. The retirement of senior workforce, lack of interest among the younger crowd, and unavailability of stock options are acting as roadblocks for manufacturing industries to acquire senior talent.?

As the industries are looking to grow and expand their markets, having senior talent onboard becomes more vital for successful growth.?

These industries are trying to solve this? expert scarcity by hiring people who are a level or two below CXOs by offering them instant career advancement. Others are trying to hire international workforce to fill the gaps.?

However, there are some obvious glaring shortcomings with these two methods. What these industries need is senior industry veterans who can come onboard on-demand, and who can work towards specific measurable business outcomes. This is where nicheBrains can come into the picture playing a game-changing role.?

The nicheBrains Solution?

nicheBrains platform provides access to thousands of global industry experts who are veterans in their own fields. Manufacturing industries can choose to work with experts on-demand, for short burst of engagements, and to achieve specific business outcomes. These industries now have a freedom to first check if the expert is aligning with the organizational goals and continue to work with them for longer periods. Different projects need different kinds of expertise, talent and skillset. And getting the right talent and expertise onboard plays a vital role in the success and growth of any business.?

Convincing the senior talent to relocate to towns away from the metro cities is also proving a great deal of challenge. However, the experts from nicheBrains can work onsite, off sight or in a hybrid mode as per the industry needs. This virtually removes all kinds of work barriers between the expert and the customers making nicheBrains a potent weapon in fighting the talent scarcity.?
