3 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Hiring for Residential Construction Projects Building the right team is critical for the success of your residential construction projects. Avoid these 3 common hiring mistakes to ensure your projects run smoothly: 1️⃣ Focusing too much on experience, not enough on fit – Skills matter, but a team that collaborates well delivers the best results.   2️⃣ Skipping reference checks – A thorough background check can save you from costly mistakes later on.   3️⃣ Ignoring key soft skills like communication and problem-solving – These can be just as important as technical expertise on a busy job site. Hiring smart today can prevent future headaches! #ResidentialHiring #SmartHiring #ConstructionTips

A quick placement..... A couple of weeks ago I finished up a successful placement of a high level construction executive in New York. The process took place over a period of 2 weeks from a phone call at 6:30pm to a first interview, to an offer and then an acceptance of the position. On the surface it looks like it was a very quick turnaround.....but the process really took 8 years. That's right......eight years. I have been connected with this talented individual since 2016 and we spoke about once a quarter over that time period. We developed a great relationship over that time period and I never try to move someone when they are truly happy with their role...it's a futile endeavor. In the end the process took over 40 phone conversations over 96 months. Relationship building is the most important part of this business and it often takes a long time but in the end it is worth it! #recruiting #construction

Have you ever heard of Big Spring, Texas? It's a small town of well under 50,000 people. Do you know professionals who work there, want to work there, or would accept a job offer there? Of course not. There's nothing there of interest to most people. Cows and grass. But guess what? I DO know professionals who work there, want to work there, and would accept a job offer there. Why? Because in Big Spring, like in many other small towns across the U.S., there's a prominent site development and paving company with a location planted there so they can serve a wide market and access their materials more locally when they work in the middle of nowhere. They trust us to find the needle in the haystack, the needle being quality construction and engineering professionals with experience who would want to work as project managers and estimators in a place like that. If you need a hire that most other recruiters would call "not fillable," call us when failure is not an option. #recruivision #AECrecruiting

So here's the bind I am in at the moment, I have the market telling me that things are really slow right now, projects are being pushed and delayed and there is not as much hiring happening. Logic would tell us that I should now have a huge candidate pool to play with and can fill the roles I do have, yet at the moment I am coming up short on qualified candidates for the current roles: #ProjectManager #ProjectCoordinator #Superintendent #Estimator #DevelopmentManager Is this a sign of things to come? Is there that much of a lack of qualified candidates coming through in the slow times? When the "boom" comes back and it certainly will are we in for a massive shortage of construction professionals? In saying all of that, if you are looking for something new and companies with a pipeline of work spanning over a decade then please give me a shout today. shaun.lawthom@SkylineRL.com
