Live coverage of the collective recruiting desk here at Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope: *Corey going through the open req report* **Corey notices that 18 of his jobs are brand new, job-never-existed-before roles** ***"Hang on- I wonder how many brand new, job-never-existed-before roles we have open across OBE", Corey asked himself*** 78. 78 brand new, job-never-existed-before roles. 78!! OBE is g-r-o-w-i-n-g in all sorts of dynamic and awesome directions, and to be a part of it is just the best. Also OBE is awesome. The end :) #nowhiring #OBE #recruiting #recruitinglife #companyculture #recruitingdifferently

Guns, Asphalt, and Hiring Candidates with a Growth Mindset. Last week, I had the opportunity to share this story with Walter Kearns at BuildWitt's Work Shop and wanted to pass it along. Our team recently partnered with an asphalt contractor in the Midwest looking for their next Lead Superintendent. They needed a leader of people, not just the largest projects. We met with a candidate who had great experience. We wanted to know more about their leadership style and how they dealt with their crews and people. We asked: "How are you actively growing and developing yourself professionally? Tell me more about how this plays into your leadership style." Candidate: "I'm working on how to manage my anger better on job sites." I paused and appreciated the honesty. Tell me more. "I have incredibly high standards for job sites and keeping projects on schedule. I can't stand delays and poorly kept job sites." Love a guy who is passionate about QC. "...but, I did threaten to shoot someone the other day on a job site. I would've if I had my gun..." I laughed and thought he was kidding. He wasn't. Obviously, this guy was hired on the spot! (kidding) Pro-tip: Ask questions and be quiet. You'll be surprised by what you will hear.

You've built an incredible company! It wasn't easy, but hell, it's been rewarding. You and your team work together like champs, and everyone feels like they're part of something big. You're always helping your employees grow, giving them cool opportunities to do and learn new stuff. You make sure everyone has time for family, rest, and play, which is awesome. You pay your employees well and give them good benefits. That's why they stick around! Everyone feels respected and appreciated. You make sure your team stays safe, you keep everyone in the loop, and you're not shy about giving props when they do great work. They love that! You guys always deliver top-notch work. That's why your customers keep coming back! 🤷♀️ So, why the heck are you having such a hard time hiring? First off, congratulations 👏👏👏 You took on something huge, risky, expensive, and challenging - and you succeeded! You're bettering the lives of your communities, your employees, and their families. Well done, and thank you! But, before blaming your hiring problem on the next generation's work ethic or the skilled trades shortage, ask yourself these 3 questions: 1️⃣ Does anyone outside my company KNOW all these things? Have we made all of the above clear and highly visible on our social media pages, our website career page, and in our job posts? 2️⃣ Do we have an efficient system for job distribution, hiring, talent pool management, and communication? 3️⃣ Have we attracted enough people to be selective, and does our selection process get us the right people? If you answered no 👎 to these questions, the solutions are clear and very much within your control. Get on my calendar if you wanna chat about it. - 📸: Banks Construction Company paving crew #betterdirtworld #construction #hiring #recruiting #people

Since joining the roofing industry 3 years ago, I’ve learned quite a bit. 🏘️ From sales to shingles to people, there’s something new everyday. 📚 However, it didn’t take very long to realize the roofing industry can be the wild, wild west. 🤠 There are hundreds of different compensation structures and models, with varying job descriptions. 💵 More often than not, these models are lucrative for year 1, and maybe year 2, but provide very little, if any, support or opportunities beyond sales. 🛑 And, unfortunately, many companies in our industry don’t survive past year 3. 📉 At Cornerstone Roofing + Solar , we’ve been reimagining how to create a more sustainable and career-minded workplace. 📈 What does that look like for us? 👀 - W-2 roles and job descriptions that play to strengths ✅ - Pouring into our team with the best tools and technology so we can perform at the highest level ✅ - A focus on organizational opportunities beyond sales ✅ After spending time last week interviewing and connecting with different people in the industry, I’m incredibly confident we are on the right path. 🤜 The people in our industry deserve an organizational structure where they can work for 10, 15 and 20+ years. 🤝 #culture #roofing #career #construction #organizationalculture
