As a contractor – ignoring your culture and employee sentiment is a death wish. The traditional “shut up and do your job” cliche of the construction industry is no longer accepted by the workforce. Will there always be 6-day, 60-hour weeks sometimes? Yep, nature of the gig. But they don’t have to create resentment the way they traditionally have. You must value and recognize your people if you want your business to last. The cool part is that the most impactful changes you can make are BEHAVIORS that don’t require immense resources. Actually, most are free. Look at the SaaS and tech industries - despite recent challenges, they’re incredibly successful at attracting young talent – with many of them pulling long hours too. Why? Because they prioritize culture, care for their team, offer enticing benefits, and celebrate collective successes. Most importantly they cast a clear vision for the impact they intend to make. They have a clearly illustrated "why". Unfortunately, in construction, this has NOT been the norm. So.. are you willing to look in the mirror to gain a competitive edge amidst the talent shortage? . . Build Your Bench | Make Your Mark . . . #construction #recruiting #bybmym

Advisor for Growing Design Businesses: Business Development, Pricing & Proposal Strategy, Financial Reporting, & Operations. [I founded 2 companies, am an ADU expert, & believe streets are for people]
Transparency builds trust in your business. If you want to attract the best candidates for job openings, I strongly encourage you to be transparent about the compensation range for the role you are trying to fill. This range should also align with the job title and salaries for similar roles in your local market. You want candidates who trust in your firm and willing to put their future careers in your hands. Don't hide salary information. Publish it openly. I once applied for a job at a small but growing design company. My salary expectations were in the $90,000 to $120,000 range based on recent positions I held and the location of the job. The role had a title and job description in line with my experience level and skill set so I felt it may be a good fit. After being invited to interview and subsequently having multiple follow up conversations, the firm decided to write me an offer. It was for $60,000 with a small opportunity for bonuses. No where near what I was expecting. Of course I didn't take that job. The firm wasted hours of time spent over weeks of back and forth conversations just for the difference in salary expectations to kill the opportunity to work together. This could have been avoided if they were transparent at the beginning. It would have saved them (and me) lots of time - and time is money. What was gained by hiding this information? It sure didn't help their reputation. It didn't fill the role they needed filled. It didn't save them money. If they were transparent from the beginning they would have received applications from people with experience levels that would align with the salary range rather than the lofty title. And those who applied would be happy to receive offers within the range the firm published, and hopefully accept the offer. Don't make this mistake at your #architecture firm. Publish your salary ranges in your job descriptions. If you are reading this, and you happen to run a job board (Hey Archinect, LinkedIn, The American Institute of Architects (AIA), and all the others out there), take a stand and REQUIRE that all job postings have salary ranges. Be a positive force for change. Empower workers with the data to make better decisions and find the right career fit. #Architects #Architectjobs #ArchitectSalary #BusinessofArchitecture #architecturefirms #EntreArchitect #architecturelovers #practiceofarchitecture #AIA #salarytransparency

To all #experienced professionals who wish to apply for opportunities in another company . Along with increase in salary Do not forget to check the below points before applying or choosing an organization 🔹Check if the current employee of that company are happy or not ( this will help you alot to decide ) 🔸Check the working environment of that company ( I am sure you do no wish to work in a toxic environment ) 🔹Check the career curve graph of the working engineers in that organization since 3years ( This will give you an idea of how uour career curve would be in next few years. 🔸What Does the current employees of that organization have to say about Overstretched work pressure 🔹Most important is there Nepotism and office politics involved ( mostly it does but is it manageable ) No one likes to change jobs frequently; it is the environment that forces them to do so. Do you agree? #workingenvironment #jobs #office #decision

The rate at which #construction employees voluntarily leave their job has dropped from 2.4% to 1.8% in the past few months. Simultaneously, the number of job openings in construction has risen by 15% in the last month. What could that mean?? ⬇ The Law of Scarcity is working here. Excluding college grads, there's less people with construction experience who are willing to make a change. The value for those people is peaking right now. How does that affect you?? ⬇ Even if you're happy in your company, now is the perfect time to crack the door open and look for other opportunities. The reward could be a higher salary, better benefits, more comfortable work environment, more time with family, or a faster track to executive positions. #recruitment #recruiting #jobhunt #careerchange

WHAT STOPS IT ARCHITECTURE CANDIDATES IN THEIR TRACKS? When I'm engaging with IT architecture professionals about new opportunities, there's one phrase that consistently brings the conversation to a halt. It used to be all about salary. If the pay wasn't competitive, that would be the end of our discussion, no matter how attractive the role. However, today's candidates are more flexible regarding salary expectations. They prioritise other aspects of a job. So, what phrase currently stops conversations dead in their tracks? "This role requires you to be in the office 4-5 days a week." This requirement ends more than 80% of my discussions with potential candidates. In the current competitive market, where finding top IT architecture talent is already a challenge, demanding full-time office presence makes it even harder. It significantly narrows your candidate pool. To keep your talent pool wide and your conversations open, offer flexible working options. Don't close doors before they even open. Embrace flexibility. 🌟
