How to Secure Top EAM Talent: Our 4-Step Process

Our methodology is built to deliver precision and speed in a candidate-scarce market. We handle the entire process, allowing your teams to focus on core business objectives.

3. Step 3: Execute Confidential Approaches. Our team directly and confidentially contacts high-value passive candidates to present the opportunity, assess their interest, and evaluate their suitability against the mandate.

4. Step 4: Deliver a Vetted Shortlist. We present a qualified shortlist of 3-5 candidates who have been thoroughly vetted and are committed to the interview process. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we access passive EAM candidates?

Clients benefit from access to a curated network of EAM professionals, including functional consultants, technical specialists, and asset management leaders. Many of these individuals are passive candidates, highly experienced and not actively applying for roles - yet critical to successful project delivery and long-term asset optimisation. 

What is our process for sourcing EAM talent?

Our process combines detailed market intelligence with direct headhunting, ensuring each hire aligns with both technical requirements and organisational goals. The process works by first mapping the talent market for your specific need, then initiating confidential approaches to identified targets. This structured recruitment process ensures quality, speed, and precision, whether supporting system implementations, upgrades, or BAU asset management teams.

Why is a specialist recruiter vital for EAM roles?

In a specialist sector where the right expertise is scarce and business impact is high, a generalist approach fails. It cannot identify or engage the limited pool of qualified professionals. Chris Turner Recruitment offers a trusted, knowledgeable recruitment partner, delivering talent that drives measurable operational improvements across the asset lifecycle.

What specific EAM roles do you typically recruit for?

We recruit across the full spectrum of EAM positions, from EAM Consultants and Solution Architects to Project Managers and Technical Specialists. Our focus includes roles requiring expertise in implementation, configuration, and ongoing optimisation of EAM systems for various industries.

How do you ensure candidates possess the necessary platform-specific EAM experience?

Our recruitment consultants have direct, hands-on experience with leading EAM platforms like IBM Maximo, SAP EAM, and Oracle. This allows us to conduct in-depth technical screening and validate candidates' practical skills and project experience against your specific platform requirements.
