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.

owenmeyer@michaelpage.com 847-749-8640 We are almost ten days into 2025, and boy is it a good time to be a construction project manager in Milwaukee and Madison. My team and I have heard from over a dozen general contractors this week alone that are in urgent need of qualified project managers. If you are a project manager in either of those cities who has kicked around the idea of updating your resume, keep reading. Demand for your skillset is at a 5 month high, yet we are still in a candidate driven market. There is a shortage of available skilled commercial construction project managers, and hiring managers are adjusting their employee offerings to attract talent. These adjustments include elevated base salaries, work from home flexibility, favorable bonus structures, and more! This dynamic presents an opportunity for you, the curious project manager. If you can see yourself leaving your company for the right opportunity in 2025, now is the best time to throw your hat in the ring. It is always better to interview when fewer people are interviewing. Of course it is; you have less competition and you are more likely to get offered a superior compensation package. This dynamic, however, could change. I can't predict the future, but it's wise to count on these roles becoming more competitive for prospective employees as we move into the warmer months. With that is mind, it's a lot more advantageous to strike while the iron is hot. I encourage you to reach out for a confidential consultation if there is even a 10% chance you see yourself switching companies this year. I can use my years of expertise and network of over 60 general contractors to help you navigate this market. I also encourage you to review some of the roles I am sourcing for using the link below!

I’ve talked to a lot of amazing construction professionals who don’t want to work at some of the companies I suggest to them. Not because these companies are bad places to work. But because recruiters have reached out over and over again about the same positions (a lot of which didn’t actually align with the candidate’s background). This is partially on the recruiter (do your research!), but it affects the company more. If you feel the need to engage many agencies over many months to fill a position, something is going wrong. Before just answering the next cold call and signing up another agency, it might make sense to diagnose why this position has been so hard to fill. Finding an amazing Estimator or Project Manager isn’t easy, and if they already don’t want to work at your company, it quickly becomes impossible.

Are you tired of receiving the same candidates from Job Boards? Here’s why industry expertise makes all the difference in civil construction staffing. One of the most common issues I hear from clients is that after hiring a staffing firm, they end up receiving the same pool of candidates they already find through job boards like Indeed or SIP Recruiter. It can be frustrating to feel like you’re paying for the same service that your internal team is already providing. Here’s the difference: At Terrelonge Staffing Solutions Inc., we specialize in civil construction, and we know the ins and outs of the industry. It’s not just about filling a role; it’s about finding the right candidate with the right expertise—whether it’s a superintendent, project manager, or skilled laborer. Because we have a deep understanding of the specific skills and qualifications required for success in civil construction, we connect our clients with highly qualified candidates that they won’t find through a simple job board search. Our process is focused on quality, not quantity. So, if you’re tired of receiving the same candidates from job boards, it’s time to partner with a staffing firm that truly knows your industry and the challenges you face. Let’s talk about how we can find the right talent for your team. #CivilConstruction #StaffingSolutions #ConstructionTalent #IndustryExpertise #Recruiting #ConstructionCareers #ProjectManagement #Superintendents

Hiring Managers!!! Does your recruiter ask the following: 1. Have you ever been to First tier Tribunal and what was the outcome? 2. Do you deal with Deed of Transfer / Covenant? 3. To what extend have you dealt with The Building Safety Act 2022? These are just a few of the qualifying questions we ask to all the candidates. What questions do you think a recruiter should ask? We are always open to new ways of working especially when it helps us, help you!

As a recruiter focussing on placing constrution professionals, I am often challenged with the most difficult question " Must have Canadian Experience". This Automatically disqualifies some great candidates with outstanding international experience. Here is how this complex situation was overcome. My candidate had good experience, right attitude and great personality. I knew he would do well, my client who specializes in Curtain wall was looking for an Estimator. * Firstly resume had to be targeted to highlight his experience in Curtain wall and Facade. * A persuasive compelling call to the client highlighting his skills and why a 30 minutes telepone interview with candidate would be worthwhile. * On Site test to evaluate his estimating ability. The team liked his approach and wanted to him, Final bombshell fees will only be paid after 3 months if he makes it through probation. No choice but to wait patiently and what a surprise candidate was not only confirmed but received a 20% pay rise. At Modern Technical Staffing we use creative and innovative ways to attract talent. Construction is unique and one size fits all resume approach cannot be used. If you are seeking out Estimator,project manager or any other construction professionals reach to me at gita@mtsrecruiting.com #construction recruitment, # Moderntechnical Staffing

Is Your Staffing Partner Truly Aligned with Your Industry? Let me tell you a quick story about one of my clients in civil construction who was going through a tough time. They partnered with a staffing firm that seemed like a good fit… but guess what? They didn’t understand the ins and outs of civil construction. The candidates they sent? Not the best quality. My client ended up dealing with missed deadlines and frustrated teams because the hires couldn’t handle the scale of the projects. Long story short, after months of headaches, they came to us at Terrelonge Staffing Solutions Inc. We took the time to understand their specific needs, and our deep knowledge of the industry meant we could deliver candidates who had the right skills and experience. No more costly delays, no more stress—just the right people for the job. When it comes to civil construction, you need a partner who gets it. Don’t make the mistake of going with a general staffing firm that doesn’t know the industry. Your projects are too important for that. #Construction #CivilConstruction #StaffingSolutions #HiringRight
