Federal City Council’s Post

I started my recruiting career in New York City. You'd think that recruiting construction in the biggest city in the country would mean tons of doors to pry open, but often it was exactly the opposite. What I learned early on was, the construction industry in NYC was huge...but also very small. Everybody knew everybody and the #1 way talent moved from one company to another was "my buddy called me and said they needed me". It was understanding this way of life that made me a better recruiter. Construction recruiting (well, all recruiting) is a "who you know" business. Always has been, always will be. And our value as recruiters is to know the best people and to connect them to others that are the best. So that just leaves one question: do we know each other? If so, let's catch up and connect each other to great people and great companies. If we don't, let's connect ourselves and build even bigger networks of who we know! #whodoyouknow #recruiting #recruiterlife #constructionrecruiting #construction #connections Delta Construction Partners, Inc.

When Turner Construction Company established our permanent office in Memphis, I began to dive into the dynamics of our city. A stark reality became apparent – there is a critical gap in the representation of skilled workers in the construction trades.   Most skilled tradespeople commuted from areas outside of Shelby County and didn't mirror the demographics of the city they served. This ignited a shift in our priorities in the Mid-South, leading our Turner office to address workforce development as a primary focus. Within our workforce efforts, diversity, equity, and inclusion are three closely linked values that are key to building stronger, more representative teams of workers and trade partners.   Partnerships play a pivotal role in making this happen. As a board member of Go Build Tennessee, leading our Turner team in actively contributing to initiatives that promote workforce development and diversity in the construction sector. Go Build Tennessee is an outstanding driver of engagement with diverse communities and across our state, breaking down barriers and fostering greater inclusion within the workforce.   Other collaborative efforts, such as the partnership between the West Tennessee Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors and UpSmith, showcase our commitment to fostering meaningful connections that empower workers in the Memphis region. As the ABC of West TN Board Chair for 2024, I want to cultivate further opportunities for collaboration in our communities and see our entire local industry take pride in our ongoing efforts to strengthen and diversify our workforce.   There are many companies, individuals and organizations striving to make our workforce represent our communities better because of that diversity. By embracing each other’s ideas and working together, we enrich our industry with fresh ideas and varied perspectives that make us all stronger.   As we build our city’s future, we should do so with a dedication to inclusion where people feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued. Our actions today shape the future of our industry, and that future belongs to everyone.   #TurnerConstruction #Memphis #workforcedevelopment #careers 

September is a prime month for construction recruiting firms in Florida.  As the summer 😎 season winds down and companies gear up for the busy fall and ☃ winter construction seasons, there's a surge in demand for skilled workers.   Here's why September is a particularly active month for construction recruiting: *Project Kickoffs 🏗 : Many new construction projects start or gain momentum in September, increasing hiring needs. *Seasonal Fluctuations 🍂: Some construction activities, such as outdoor work, may decrease during the summer but pick up again in the fall, necessitating additional staffing.  *Year-End Planning 🗓: Companies often use September to plan for the upcoming year, which includes budgeting and staffing decisions.   *Employee Turnover 🚧: The end of the summer can be a time for employees to evaluate their career paths and make job changes, leading to vacancies that need to be filled. If you're a construction 👷♂️ professional seeking new opportunities or a company looking to hire 👷♀️ skilled workers, September is a great time to connect with recruiting firms in Florida. They can provide valuable insights into current market trends, help you identify suitable opportunities, and guide you through hiring. We would be happy to help with any confidential searches for any roles that a Florida General Contractor might need.

Really mixed feelings about this. Whilst Barratt and Redrow are no doubt some of the best - if not the best - volume housebuilders around, potential job losses of c. 800 employees along with nine office closures feels borderline criminal. Naturally, there's hope that this joint behemoth of housing can build some astronomical numbers, however from a socio-economic perspective do the benefits really outweigh the risks? Or is this ultimately a deal for the shareholders? We (Strata) can't help everyone in housing but if you're currently working in a Technical/Design capacity, feel at risk, and are keen to explore a role in Civil or Structural Engineering, then this is our skillset and we can help you find your next role. #barratt #redrow #housing #engineeringjobs #constructionjobs #stratajobs https://lnkd.in/escJmhmA

This was a great panel discussion highlighting the collaboration + innovation that's driving unique ways to introduce new careers in construction - a key strategy to meet hiring demands now and into the future!

Did you know that 25% of construction workers are over 55 years old and that 41% of the current workforce is expected to retire by 2031? This is a serious issue for the construction industry's future, especially when you consider the industry must fill an additional 500,000 positions in 2024 to meet demand. Fortunately, Hard Hats Hiring is leading the charge to address this issue by highlighting construction and piquing the interest of the next generation of builders.
