Ground Up Construction Recruiting

Spent last week in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Big Sur and Monterey. Being able to travel whenever we want while still getting work done is one of the best perks of being a husband-and-wife team. #groundupconstructionrecruiting

We feel incredibly blessed to have been receiving more networking opportunities and business from Christian-based construction companies. As a husband and wife team grounded in faith, it's heartening to connect with others who share our values and vision. We take great pride in rooting our business in a firm foundation, as well as helping good people join good companies. 🤝 #faithbasedbusiness #constructionrecruiting #construction

At Ground Up Construction Recruiting, we understand that each company's hiring needs are unique. That's why we offer both a retained flat-fee search model and a monthly recruitment search model to our partners. Our retained flat-fee model is ideal for companies seeking recruitment solutions for 1-2 hires. Half of the retainer is due upfront, while the other half is due as soon as you hire one of our high-performing candidates. For those with ongoing hiring needs, our monthly retained search model ensures continuous support from us, as we work hard to fulfill 2+ roles at a time over the span of several months. With these flexible options, we're committed to delivering tailored recruiting solutions that align with our partners' goals - and save them money. #groundupconstructionrecruiting #construction #hiring #talent

We sure do love wedding season! 💍 We're fortunate to be able to celebrate our friends living in different parts of the country who are tying the knot and growing in their relationships. This summer has been nothing short of a blessing, filled with intentional travel and opportunities to catch up with our friends and family. #groundupconstructionrecruiting

We value transparency, and we know our partners do too. That's why we track and report our time-to-fill metrics on a regular basis. This helps us give our partners a better idea of how long it will take to fill certain positions, as well as allows us to more strategically manage our workload as team of two. Here are some of our most recent placements with time-to-fill metrics from the past few months. ⏱ #groundupconstructionrecruiting

We just helped one of our GC partners hire a Senior Estimator in 5 weeks. Here’s how it all went down: ▶ Got referred from a Fractional CFO connection ▶ Had an intro meeting with the President and Fractional CFO ▶ Got an agreement signed ▶ Had an onboarding meeting with the President and one of his partners ▶ Sourced and screened 74 candidates ▶ Sent 1 candidate to be interviewed and considered for the position ▶ Candidate went through the interview process and was presented an offer ▶ Candidate countered and accepted the revised offer Estimators are some of the toughest positions to fill in construction. Our searches aren’t always this seamless, but this one went about as well as they can. Happy client, happy candidate. ... P.S. We're starting a Director of Operations search for them in about 3 weeks, so hit me up if you have experience running a $50M+ general contracting company and live in or are open to relocating to California (federal/public works experience is a major plus). #groundupconstructionrecruiting

We're working on some challenging roles right now with partners that are looking for very specific people. It can be easy to get discouraged when we don't find the right person within a certain time frame and have to go back to the drawing board. The Verse of the Day on the Bible App this morning was perfect for the season we're in for our business right now. James 1:2-3 - "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." ...

You never know why a candidate might be open to exploring new opportunities. They could be looking for better growth prospects, improved work-life balance, or a company that truly values their skills and contributions. It's a reminder that every interaction is a chance to showcase why your company could be the perfect fit. Stay open & engaging, and always be ready to present the unique strengths of your team. You might just attract the talent you've been searching for. 🔎 #groundupconstructionrecruiting

Tired of conducting interviews with candidates in a boring conference room? ❌ Try taking your potential employees on a tour of one of your job sites instead. Or maybe even meet them for coffee or a bite to eat after the initial interview. This allows you to not only get to know candidates in a more dynamic setting but also gives you the chance to showcase your work and highlight what sets your company apart. Surprisingly, many construction companies don't do this. Give it a try – it just might help you stand out from the competition and leave a lasting impression on candidates. ✅ #construction #hiring #talentacquisition #groundupconstructionrecruiting
