Tips for Hiring Construction Workers

Tips for Hiring Construction Workers

Until recently, unemployment was low, making talent difficult to find. Of course, with the growing economic uncertainty related to COVID-19, more people are looking for work. Many people these days are taking online courses to become a construction manager. That may seem like a plus when you want to hire construction workers. But, the reality is that an abundance of workers on the market doesn’t necessarily equate to them all being first-class workers. You need to choose the right construction crew, which is why you must follow these tips.

Use an Intermediary

Check out the civil construction labor hire available with this firm. Not only can you provide them with precise details of what you need and how much you’d like to pay, but you also won’t have to waste time screening applicants and conducting interviews. They’ll handle all this for you and suggest the crew that will work best for you.

Of course, you’ll still have the final say in the matter. If you prefer to do all the work yourself, then you should:

Job Boards

There is an abundance of job boards that can be used to advertise the positions you have available. However, they are not all the best options for construction workers. If you have a well-written ad and you’re getting very few responses, then you’re on the wrong job board and need to change. It’s best to stick to construction based job boards.

Be Specific

The more specific you are about what you need, the easier it will be to ignore the applications that don’t fit. Even better, by being precise, those that don’t match the criteria will generally not bother applying. Being specific also means confirming the intended remuneration range. Although anything can be open to discussion, by presenting it in advance, people will know what to expect and won’t apply if it doesn’t suit their needs.

Ask Around

Check with your current team, friends, and trusted colleague. They may know people who can do the job, and their endorsement of that person is usually not given lightly. A bad endorsement reflects on them too.

Veterans

Veterans may not have civilian experience building, but they are very good at following orders and have probably created numerous structures during their time in the forces. It’s worth looking at them to see if they have the skills and aptitude that you need. You can even contact local organizations that support veterans; they’ll help you to get in touch with the right candidates.

Consider Apprentices

An apprentice is a cheap construction worker, and they benefit from the experience. It can be a great way of building your team and getting a project off the ground. Just make sure they know what to expect and factor in continuing their training for them.

References

When you do pick a suitable candidate make sure you check their references properly. It can be easy to say you’ve done a variety of things but it is worth checking to ensure they are as good as they say they are. This can be done through a GPS time clock app that tracks the hours each worker has labored and provides accurate information about their work habits. GPS time clock apps provide an invaluable layer of assurance when hiring construction workers; not only do you get a clear picture of what the worker’s past looks like, but you also get constant updates on their current performance.  Following up on a reference can save you a lot of hassle in the future.
