As baby boomers begin to make their exodus into retirement, many companies have found themselves seeking top talent in a competitive market. But, what kind of engineers are in demand and what are companies doing to win and retain top talent in this environment? Company recruiters are thinking creatively when it comes to attracting elite job candidates. In order to stay competitive, many companies have developed special programs to attract top candidates, particularly recent college graduates. To create this attraction, Willbros Group, Inc., has created an initiative called the Graduate Development & Rotation Program.
