International recruiting is a sustainable strategy.

🏗️ Building a Thriving Construction Company: The Power of Strategic Hiring & Marketing 🏗️ In the fast-paced construction industry, the foundation of a successful company isn't just built on concrete and steel, but on the strength of its people and the power of its brand. Good hiring is not just about filling positions; it's about attracting the right talent that aligns with your company's values and vision. In an industry where every project reflects on your reputation, having a team that's skilled, motivated, and committed is non-negotiable. Moreover, marketing your company effectively to potential candidates is just as crucial as marketing to potential clients. It's about showcasing your company culture, the opportunities for growth, and the impactful projects your team undertakes. This not only attracts top talent but also builds a brand that clients trust and employees are proud to be a part of. Remember, a company that thrives in the construction industry is one that understands the importance of strategic hiring and marketing. It's about building a brand and a team that stands strong, even when the market is as dynamic as a construction site. Let's invest in our people and our brand. Because when they grow, we all build a legacy that lasts. #ConstructionIndustry #StrategicHiring #CompanyCulture #Marketing #BuildingSuccess

Want to attract more people to your construction jobs? Tip number 1: 😮💨 Don't write a list of tasks. 🤗 Talk about the importance of the work. Explain why it MATTERS. ESPECIALLY for entry level jobs where you hope to attract people who know little about the trades and less about your specific trade! EXAMPLES: ****************************************** Before: Dig, spread and level dirt and gravel using pick and shovel. After: Prepare the ground for essential infrastructure by creating stable and level surfaces. ****************************************** Before: Wreck and clean concrete forms after placement. After: Enable efficient project progression by preparing sites and wrecking/cleaning concrete forms to prepare for subsequent construction stages. ****************************************** Does the before and after feel different to read? Do the subtle wording changes position the role from grunt work to purposeful work? Do the after versions indicate people will be appreciated for the work they'll do? That's just 1 tip. I developed a $99 guide with several more tips and examples (link in comments). 📸: Dylan Moesker | TruGrit #betterdirtworld #construction #hiring #recruiting #marketing

A lot of people in construction think there is no work-life balance, but... Some people are getting closer to it. More and more I am seeing young guys in particular move away from the Tier 1 space, and take roles with smaller builders. Money and prestige are becoming less and less what people are searching for. Big projects, big pay packets, big titles.... More and more it is time that will attract you the best candidate. PS. Would it help to have a confidential chat about your future in construction?
