CONSULTING SERVICES
What is the difference between an employment agency and an engineering consultancy firm, such as IMS?
In the vast landscape of the world of work, two entities that can often be confused are employment agencies and engineering consultancy firms. Although both are involved in the professional sphere, they perform distinct roles and focus on different goals.
1. Employment Agency: Professional Placement and Human Resources
Employment agencies have the main task of facilitating the matching of job supply and demand. These agencies act as intermediaries between companies looking for staff and individuals looking for employment. Their activities include selecting candidates, managing interviews, verifying skills, and creating a “pool” of available talent for companies. Employment agency operators can also offer career guidance and training services to improve candidates’ skills.
The primary goal of an employment agency is to connect job seekers with employers, satisfying the needs of both parties.
2. Engineering Consulting Company: Specialized Solutions and Technical Projects
On the other hand, an engineering consultancy company specializes in providing technical solutions and advanced engineering consultancy. These companies often bring together highly skilled professionals in disciplines such as civil, electrical, mechanical, or automation engineering.
Their main role is to provide specialized advice to businesses in various sectors. This can include designing and building infrastructure, managing complex projects, and providing innovative engineering solutions. Engineering consultancy firms work closely with clients to understand their needs, develop tailored solutions, and implement designs that address technical challenges.
IMS focuses on highly specialized technical and engineering consultancy services, providing human resources who actively enter the workgroup.
IMS presents itself as a reliable partner, capable of intervening in the technical, technological, and entrepreneurial fields, offering concrete and innovative managerial solutions.
Upon receiving a project assignment, IMS is broken down into a series of diverse yet important activities. These activities include document production, requests for permits and visas, purchasing travel tickets, searching and booking accommodations, managing shifts, providing general and specific training, ensuring on-site safety, procuring necessary supplies, and conducting a thorough and extended follow-up phase.
These two realities are often confused, but they play different but complementary roles in the world of work.
