Getting the best PM’s/ Superintendents to join your small to mid-sized contractor isn’t that complicated But lots of GC’s are missing some key steps. ⬇ ⬇ Here are three common mistakes that sabotage success: 1- Assuming candidates will find you. Posting jobs on your website or LinkedIn and expecting that the best people will flock to your open jobs:  You don’t have the visibility of a larger contractor.  So don’t compete with them there. The best Superintendents in the area might be open to working with you… But they won’t know about your opportunity if you don’t reach out to them directly. 2- Relying on salary to win candidates. Construction candidates make a lot of money these days.  They know that any contractor worth working for will be able to pay them competitively. Competitive pay has to be the starting point, not the selling point. 3- Not selling yourself in interviews (this is the secret!!) Yes, there is a lot more to a PM/ Super position than who you report to. But being able to envision you as someone they could learn from and grow with will make good candidates a lot more likely to come over. The clients I work with that get who they want, do this. Most construction leaders do not sell themselves to prospective candidates, But those who do, stand out.
