Maximizing your job listings can be a game-changer when attracting top talent in the trucking industry. Swipe through this post for a few key strategies to boost your applications and fill your open positions faster.

As I was working on my yard after work yesterday it got me thinking that finding top talent is a lot like tending to your yard: it requires dedication, patience, and a keen eye for detail. As recruiters, we understand the value of nurturing and cultivating relationships with candidates, much like nurturing the yard. Just like different yards require different care, each candidate brings unique skills and qualities to the table. It's about recognizing potential, fostering growth, and ultimately, harvesting success. I love to dig deep, sow seeds of opportunity, and watch good teams bloom! #Recruiting #TalentAcquisition #Growth #Success"

One of the biggest challenges businesses face today is finding the right talent—and it’s not just about skillset, it's about culture, vision, and values. So many companies wonder why they struggle to find the right candidates, but often the issue lies in their employer brand. What you stand for, how you treat people when they leave, how you develop your team—that’s your employer brand. It’s everything these days. Candidates need to know who you are, what your company is about, and why your business is special. You need people to understand your story. You need to dive deep into your company's journey—your history, your culture, your vision for the future. We want to know about your personal and professional development opportunities, the values you live by, and the role your business plays in the community. This is how you connect the right people to the right businesses. Because when candidates see that a company is more than just a job, when they see that it’s a community, a place for growth and opportunity—they’re not just applying for a position, they’re joining something special. Let’s show them why your business stands out.

In today's competitive job market, roofing firms that openly share their story, mission, and values online have a distinct advantage. It's not just about the quality of work you do—it's about who you are, what you stand for, and how you connect with your team and clients. Roofing firms that highlight their culture and values create a compelling narrative that attracts top talent, and lifts their employer brand above their competitors. When potential employees see a company that communicates its vision and values, they're more likely to feel aligned and motivated to join the team. Here's why sharing your story matters: Authenticity: Showcasing your journey and what drives your business builds trust and credibility. Connection: Sharing your mission and values helps potential hires connect with your company on a deeper level. Insight: Providing a glimpse into your company's culture gives candidates a clear picture of what it's like to work with you, making your firm more appealing.

'Don't be tempted to accept a counter offer' 'WHY????'🤔 It can be hard to turn down a counter offer because you may feel like you are leaving something on the table. However, it is important to consider the reasons why you decided to move on in the first place before you accept one. Accepting a counter offer can be a short-term solution that doesn't solve the long-term problem 🤷♂️. Your employer may have only offered you more money this time around and not addressed the other issues you might have had. It could also be a sign of distrust from your current employer 🤔. Accepting a counter offer could lead to a lack of commitment from both you and your employer going forward. Finally, you may find that you have already burnt bridges 🔥. Your current employer may not have taken kindly to your decision to move on and may have already replaced you or taken steps to replace you. It's important to consider all of the reasons why you decided to move on in the first place before you accept a counter offer 💭.

The secret to attracting top talent within the Building Materials industry...  It comes down to one word ✨ engagement ✨  I’ve been banging on about this for a year now.  But you as a hiring manager need to engage with candidates, tell them about your journey, why you joined the business, and why they should too!  Be honest though. Don’t oversell it with promises you can’t keep.  Ultimately, this will help you retain staff in the long run.  #BuildingMaterials #RecuitmentAdvice #Recruiter

I recently took a Plum survey to apply for a co-op position and it provided me with some good insight on professional talents I can bring to the workforce. I plan to capitalize and continue to improve upon these talents, and I recommend taking this survey if you're interested in understanding yourself and what you bring to the table.

The recruitment industry pivots and revolves around one phenomenon: The perception that the grass could be greener on the other side. There is no doubt in my mind that every Recruiter would be out of business by the spring, if this shared psyche was lost. Recruitment Consultants will always be in business while people still continue to want more from their career and from life. It is ambition, vision and ideals that keep this sector alive. It is foolish to ask for the grass to be greener, if you are not watering the grass on your side of the fence. But if you have watered the grass, and yet still the crop isn’t growing as quickly or extensively as it should, or you’re not receiving your fair share of the harvest… You get the idea.
