Roofers don't hire soon enough - they put one post out that they're hiring or maybe 10 and they get disappointed when it doesn't gain traction -  It's like taking a shovel full of mud to make a trench and realizing that the trench isn't dug.   Hiring is a process. It's a Recipe. When you follow 1/10 of the recipe, will you bake a delicious cake? It's like cooking with only flour! Want to place 5-6 people in the next six weeks or less? (no it doesn't matter where you're located!!) I've helped contractors put together teams of 6 in less than 6 weeks, about 1 qualified person per week! : 0 If you have a small to medium size team and are eager to grow with the right people, you won't want to miss this! It will cut down over 4-5 years of trying to figure out how to get the right people into your company and condense into just a few short months. comment ME if you're serious about scaling your current team.

Guns, Asphalt, and Hiring Candidates with a Growth Mindset. Last week, I had the opportunity to share this story with Walter Kearns at BuildWitt's Work Shop and wanted to pass it along. Our team recently partnered with an asphalt contractor in the Midwest looking for their next Lead Superintendent. They needed a leader of people, not just the largest projects. We met with a candidate who had great experience. We wanted to know more about their leadership style and how they dealt with their crews and people. We asked: "How are you actively growing and developing yourself professionally? Tell me more about how this plays into your leadership style." Candidate: "I'm working on how to manage my anger better on job sites." I paused and appreciated the honesty. Tell me more. "I have incredibly high standards for job sites and keeping projects on schedule. I can't stand delays and poorly kept job sites." Love a guy who is passionate about QC. "...but, I did threaten to shoot someone the other day on a job site. I would've if I had my gun..." I laughed and thought he was kidding. He wasn't. Obviously, this guy was hired on the spot! (kidding) Pro-tip: Ask questions and be quiet. You'll be surprised by what you will hear.

Securing the mount properly is crucial to prevent accidents and damage to your TV. Here are some safety tips: - Always use a stud finder to ensure the mount is secured to the studs in the wall, not just the drywall. - Use a level to ensure the mount is straight. An uneven mount can lead to a tilted TV and potential fall risks. - If you're unsure about any part of the installation process, consider hiring a professional. It's better to be safe than sorry. https://lnkd.in/g9SVR2fv

Thinking about putting a metal roof over that old asphalt one? It's not just about giving your home a sleek, modern look; there are some practical perks too. Metal roofs are tough cookies, lasting way longer than your average asphalt shingles, and they can handle Colorado's wild weather like a champ. Plus, they're like your home's personal sunblock, keeping things cooler in the summer and potentially saving you some cash on AC bills. And hey, since you're just layering it over the existing roof, it's not as big of a hassle as starting from scratch. Watch this episode to see what the possibilities are regarding installing a metal roof over an asphalt roof and what you need to consider before hiring a roofing contractor. https://lnkd.in/gGAku_UW
