Hiring the right skilled labor continues to be a huge challenge in the construction industry. Here are some tips for better recruitment and retention: • Get specific with tailored construction job descriptions rather than generic listings. • Ask current employees for referrals of former colleagues. They can vouch for their skills. • Establish an employee value proposition that sells your workplace culture and benefits. • Partner with local vocational schools and training programs as a recruiting pipeline. • Offer apprenticeship programs to help young workers gain experience. • Provide competitive compensation packages including healthcare, retirement, etc. • Foster career growth opportunities through mentorship and advancement paths. • Check references thoroughly while also evaluating attitude/fit during interviews. • Have a thorough onboarding and training program to set new hires up for success. With a bit of strategy, you can identify and keep the best construction talent available. Let me know if you need any other hiring advice! #smallbusiness #construction

MUSIC TO MY EARS. This week a couple of the candidates I have been working with have successfully secured jobs. Jobs I must add that are aligned with their experience, skill set and career goals. These candidates found themselves in a situation where they had to find work and they did everything they could to ensure they put their best foot forward at interviews, kept their head held high when they faced rejections and when the options were much fewer and further between than they have been in the past. They were patient whilst staying true to what was right for them and their families. These qualities are rare which is why these candidates stood out against others in today's competitive job market. How did we assist them? We provided comprehensive interview preparation. Many candidates haven’t interviewed in years and simply may not know what to expect. Others have only experienced interviews in a ‘hot market’ where demand outpaced supply, leading to quicker hiring decisions. The landscape has changed, and so have our strategies. We have an in-depth understanding of our clients' needs, allowing us to prepare candidates thoroughly for their interviews. This week’s success story shows that opportunities are out there if you're determined to pursue them. If you need support in your job search OR if you're a Quantity Surveyor with expertise in pricing, measuring, procuring materials and subcontractors, awarding contracts (NZS3910), and delivering projects from start to finish, let's talk. My clients are seeking well-rounded QS professionals who excel in both planning and execution. #MainContracting #ConstructionManagement The Placement Co. Photo: from one of my runs this week.
