BCC Engineering’s recruitment strategy starts with employee feedback
Maria Padilla, Vice President of HR at BCC Engineering, knows the importance of recruiting and retaining top talent. The engineering industry is highly competitive, so finding great candidates and retaining them long-term can be challenging. That is why employee-led employer recognition is one of Maria’s top recruitment priorities.
By leveraging employer recognition awards, BCC Engineering has successfully set itself apart in the hiring market. Maria emphasizes that it’s not enough to claim to be a great workplace; having credible third-party validation and employee feedback, such as the Top Workplaces awards, is what truly elevates BCC’s reputation and attracts top talent.
Third-party recognition resonates with candidates
Maria says Top Workplaces awards validate employee engagement and BCC’s unique, people-first culture. Employees are encouraged to bring their best selves to work, given the tools to do so, and celebrated for their contributions. With recognition from Top Workplaces, it’s now easier to communicate that to candidates.
“We use Top Workplaces recognition in all our recruiting material. It’s something that we’re proud of and it lends that third-party validity. We’re not just running around saying, ‘Hey, we’re a great place to work.’ We have data to back it up. It also is a sense of pride for BCC. It’s not just that it incentivizes us to keep the award, but you want to live up to that title and continue doing so.”

Winning nine Top Workplaces awards over the past three years also provides immense value to current employees. Winning awards like Top Workplaces USA gives people a sense of pride, contributing to employee engagement and motivation. Both job seekers and employees appreciate BCC’s continuous commitment to culture. Maria commented that winning incentivizes her team to live up to the Top Workplace title while also inspiring top talent to join a nationally recognized team.
