ABLEMKR Revolutionizes Construction Staffing: Flexibility, Transparency, and Quality for Contractors and Workers Alike
In the fast growing Construction sector, flexible staffing for trade workers has emerged as a crucial strategy for contractors seeking flexibility and efficiency. This growth in the flexible labor market offers both opportunities and challenges for employers and employees alike.
ABLEMKR and their recruiting operations team have interviewed and vetted thousands of workers, and have removed the red to qualified, certified workers – all plugged in, and available to request via the ABLEMKR mobile app, and soon to be released desktop solution.
In an interview with our lead recruiter at ABLEMKR, we’re sharing some insights on why and how ABLEMKR’s approach to flexible staffing is delivering an innovative, more efficient way of finding flexible workers, while recruiting the BEST workers for contractors.
THE CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE:
With traditional staffing agencies, the questions contractors are used to asking are “what’s your rate sheet” and “what’s your markup”, often leading to a slow and opaque back-and-forth discussion on where the lines are drawn in finding and getting workers, and sometimes a mystery on the actual rate. With ABLEMKR, the answer is much easier: “Contractors set the rate, and ABLEMKR looks after finding workers.” This is often an “eye-opener” for contractors, as it might seem too simple. Here’s an example below of a Contractor setting the rate:
| Learning | Worker Bills ($/Hr) \$ | Worker Rate (/Hr) |
|---|---|---|
| Learning | 26.25 | 17.00 |
| < 1 year | 29.25 | 19.00 |
| < 5 years | 34.00 | 22.00 |
| > 5 years | 37.00 | 24.00 |
THE WORKER EXPERIENCE:
ABLEMKR is continually hiring new workers, while putting each person through a rigorous vetting and certification process. ABLEMKR’s interviews, conducted across North America, leveraging the latest in online and in-person approaches, all while ensuring every worker is properly entered in our powerful tech solution, ensuring they can view and choose new jobs, check-in to current jobs, and when it’s time for payroll – they’re fully connected to our automated payroll solution. No manual effort required!
Why does this seemingly simple change of approach make such a difference?
- The Contractor gets to decide the skill level and experience of the worker they want, at the rate they want to pay, with the quality they expect. ABLEMKR is transparent on the rates paid to the worker rates, and the ability of the request to be fulfilled. No other surprise charges or fees – ABLEMKR looks after everything in our 35% cut.
- ABLEMKR does NOT have a rate sheet. Market rates, roles, and job durations fluctuate continually, and ABLEMKR gives those hiring the freedom to set the rate they want to pay, YOU choose your worker, and YOU choose your rate.
- BONUS – When a Contractor finds a worker they want to bring on full time, after they complete 1000 hours of work through ABLEMKR, they can hire them permanently – with no added fees or commissions!
How can ABLEMKR deliver more transparency, automation, and quality than other staffing agencies? The secret is in the ABLEMKR solution – built from the ground up, and evolving daily to deliver a connected marketplace of contractors and workers. In one easy to use APP and desktop solution, ABLEMKR enables efficient job posting, sourcing, worker registration, verification, check-ins, ratings, payment tracking and ultimately flexibility for all – in both the hiring and the life of a worker – and in the jobs workers get to choose and continue to work in!
ABLEMKR FOR THE WIN!
