Commercial Construction is facing new levels of uncertainty not seen in some time. Amidst the prospect of rising interest rates, supply chain cost increases, volatility, and shifting government project commitments, there are new threats to overall confidence in the path ahead. So, what should a hiring leader do?
Projects still need to get done, and skilled people need to be hired to do the work. Why not adopt new flexible hiring practices to support the fluctuating needs of your organization? Finding and hiring skilled labor, with current and ongoing shortages, is becoming harder. It’s time for new ideas.
A flex hiring partner can be your ongoing virtual pipeline of skilled employees, without the cost or resources required to run it yourself. It’s difficult to hire skilled tradespeople, with longer timeframes to fill positions, and expectations of increasing wages, and ongoing training.
Your choices are to either stagger project starts to align with labor availability, delay new hires- putting strain on the organization, or fill the gap with flex workers to help reduce the short and long-term risk in your organization. Hard choices are a theme for 2025, so build in the options and flexibility you need by enlisting hiring partners that can reduce the uncertainty you face.
