The problem

The Electric Vehicles hiring Challenge

The Electric Vehicles (EV) industry is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world, with revenue in the industry projected to reach $623.3 billion worldwide in 2024 (according to Statista). This is driven by sales of both Battery Electric Vehicles and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles increasing year on year, with 10.64 million vehicles sold in 2023 alone. 

To meet the increased demand for EV, there is a severe lack of supply when it comes to skilled talent, whether in engineering or product. This is further exacerbated by cross-domain skill shortages, where engineers in other industries lack the specialised skills necessary in the manufacturing of EVs. According to the Institute of the Motor Industry, the market will need 103,000 qualified technicians to work with electric vehicles by 2030, rising to 124,000 in 2032. With only 38,500 qualified technicians to date in the United Kingdom, even with training, there will remain a significant shortage of talent. 

Another challenge this causes is talent poaching, especially with larger, more established EV manufacturers such as Tesla, or legacy brands such as BMW and Toyota consistently poaching talent from smaller players and vice versa.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you source the best EV talent?

We are constantly searching for the best talent in the market through a variety of different channels including proactive headhunting, referrals, job boards and events. We also run a newsletter, Talent Agnostic, which is distributed across our different media channels that have a cumulative reach of 17k followers.

What differentiates Gigstart from other EV recruitment agencies?

We are not a traditional recruitment agency. We are an embedded talent solution, where we can be plugged into your business immediately to help meet your hiring plans, via a flexible subscription that you can start and stop as your needs change.

This typically saves up to 50% compared to the traditional agency approach and is faster and more flexible than hiring a permanent in-house resource.

It typically takes us between 4-6 weeks to fill a senior or niche position; but this can be as low as 15 days for more junior individual contributor positions.
At the outset of each search, we set out clear deliverables for each stage of the recruitment process, including weekly catchups, so that you can be confident that we will make the hire on time.
