London Electronics recruitment agency listing
Working in conjunction with the technology sector, the electronics industry is estimated to be worth around £25 billion to the UK and employs around 200,000 people. The UK electronics industry ranks fifth in the world and is fronted by a host of innovative and dynamic professionals who ensure that the sector continues to go from strength to strength. For electronics firms, it's essential that they recruit the right staff and this creates a demand for electronics recruitment agencies, such as those in London, who are experts at sourcing the most suited candidates for their clients.
Salaries
From engineering to development, the electronics industry covers many areas of work and as such, the salary and working conditions can't be generalised. Depending on the role and experience, salaries can range from anywhere between £18,000 - £50,000, with skilled software engineers, electricians and technicians being some of the better paid professionals.
Key employers
As with many industries, London offers the best opportunities to enter the electronics industry with many of the UK's biggest companies being located in the capital. Goodmans, Darty plc and Sinclair Electronics all have headquarters in or within commuting distance of the city, and this has created a need for London electronics recruitment agencies who are adept at supporting such high profile organisations.
Entry requirements
The majority of electronics companies are considered SMEs, with most employing less than 50 members of staff. Generally, roles within the sector require a degree, NVQ or similarly weighted qualification, although personality and experience are also important factors when recruitment agencies are assessing candidates. Electronics is a constantly developing industry and candidates need to be able to adapt to new technologies in order to stay ahead of the market.
