The Three Little C's. Many years ago, while I was recruiting for a Project Manager for a Tenant Improvement General Contractor, I coined "The Three Little C's: " 1. Compensation. 2. Charge (role, job description). 3. Commute. As I discussed the PM opportunity with potential candidates, we would always discuss one, two, or all three as the most import factor(s) to them when considering a new job. So important were they to them, I facetiously named them the Three Little C's. Then I started to realize that Three Little C's are at the heart of all recruiting in the construction industry. Why? Because if I as a recruiter could present the PM role or any other role as the Three Little C's the candidates wanted - a serious improvement on their current C's - I'd greatly increase my candidate pool and almost anyone would talk to me. Who doesn't want either one, two, or all three of the following: 1. A higher salary. 2. A better job description or role. 3. A better commute - still important in many roles in construction. Ah! But this only works when you are: 1. Serious about recruiting top professionals by leveraging them upwards. 2. Not interested in hiring construction pros as "chess pieces" by moving them laterally into your roles. 3. Respectful of top candidates' accomplishments and what THEY want and not necessarily what YOU want. After all, you want to hire for the long-term, right? The point is almost every Project Manager, Superintendent - you name the title - will only consider your opportunity if it is a step up for them. You may be wasting valuable time spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere near close to your next critical hire. It looks good but then it fizzles out. Could this be because you as the hiring authority haven't or can't properly address a candidate's Three Little C's? There's a method to this madness.

Read the ADVERT, not just the JOB TITLE!! 📖 Attention to detail is a standard skillset for most positions across various industries. It's crucial to understand that job titles can be deceiving, and the sector and requirements can vary significantly. For instance, the role of a Project Manager can differ vastly based on the industry and company. A Construction Project Manager and an IT Project Manager have distinct skill sets and responsibilities. It's essential to delve deeper into the specifics of a job role rather than relying solely on the title. Remember, titles can be misleading, and the actual job functions may vary widely. Don't risk appearing irrelevant by applying for positions that don't align with your expertise. Take the time to understand the intricacies of each role before submitting your application. #rantover #dontlookstupid #attentiontodetail
