The ABC's of Construction Recruiting
25 years in construction recruiting taught us this:
Great hires follow a pattern.
Bad ones do too.
We all know there are A, B, and C companies.
A, B, and C candidates.
And A, B, and C recruiters.
The formula:
✅ A + A = Success
✅ B + B = Success
✅ C + C = Success
❌ Mixed grades = Rarely works
"A" Recruiters:
• Meet face-to-face
• Know your life story
• Walked your jobsites
• Understand Divisions 1-16
• Brutally honest when it counts
Poor hires drain more than your wallet - they impact your career, waste your time and devalue your market value.
Find your grade before paying the price.
