Ground Up Construction Recruiting

As the holidays approach, recruiting in our industry often slows down—but that doesn’t mean your hiring needs do. Planning ahead can set you up for a successful start to the new year. By partnering with us now, you can: ?? Lock in top talent before the rush ?? Avoid the New Year scramble to fill key positions ?? Hit the ground running on upcoming projects Don’t wait until January to start thinking about hiring! ??? #construction #groundupconstructionrecruiting #recruiting #hiring

One way I see construction as having a competitive edge is finding creative ways to give back to superintendents. A good majority of them travel heavily and are away from home. One of the things I hear most often is that companies don’t honor their commitment to the travel home arrangements. Oftentimes, an entire day can be committed to travel. That = one day out the window. How can you attract and retain great field folks? - More PTO - Honor your travel arrangements - Let them pick something fun to do away with (game, etc) - Offer merit bonuses - Offer one extra day to account for travel - Book a fun trip for them or family at the end of the project - Thank them - Call and check in on them

We do our best work when we act as an extension of our partners. ??? By immersing ourselves in their culture, values, and vision, we’re able to find candidates who aren’t just qualified but truly aligned. We operate differently than typical, non-niche recruiting companies. We always have an in-person or virtual onboarding meeting to kick things off. During this time, we focus on the ins and outs of the company, learn about their strategic initiatives, and dive into the key aspects of the search—understanding why they’re hiring. It’s this partnership approach that helps us build stronger, more cohesive teams for our partners, while also helping to reduce room for error in the types of candidates we present. #groundupconstructionrecruiting

What do we love most about getting to know candidates throughout the search process? The stories, the passions, and the drive behind their careers. By truly understanding each person’s strengths and goals, we’re able to match them with the perfect opportunity—helping our GC clients bring on the right people who align with their own vision, culture, and values. It’s more than just having a conversation or screening them—it’s about finding the best fit for both sides. ?? #buildingteamsfromthegroundup

Being a husband-and-wife, Christian-focused recruiting team means more to us than just working side by side. To us, it means building our company on a foundation of faith, integrity, and trust. Every placement we make is guided by our values, helping good companies grow while uplifting the hardworking people who bring their projects to life. Our goal isn't just to fill a bunch of roles, but to make a lasting impact on everyone we encounter during each search. We ultimately want to bring a positive, hopeful perspective to the construction industry no matter the climate. #groundupconstructionrecruiting

We just helped one of our GC partners hire a Strategic Partnerships Manager in about 4 weeks. This is why it went so well: 1 - They didn’t waste any time delaying the interview process just to see more candidates 2 - They came with their best offer right off the bat instead of trying to negotiate?or make a lowball offer 3 - We had an in-depth conversation before we started the search to find out exactly what they're looking for 4 - They didn't pass on candidates that didn't meet 100% of the experience they were after 5 - This was the fourth candidate they’ve hired from us, so we've been able to build a very good relationship and are an extension of their business #groundupconstructionrecruiting

The best construction companies know the key to retaining their talent isn’t just a paycheck—it’s creating a culture where employees want to stay. From offering competitive benefits and PTO to positively influencing and encouraging work-life balance and professional growth, these companies invest in their people just like they invest in their projects. Retention isn’t about filling gaps—it’s about building loyalty and a place people want to work. #employeeretention #culture #recruiting
