Did you know that more than a quarter of a million additional construction workers will be required by 2026 in order to meet growing demands in the UK? We’re already seeing this shortage today - but what can your company do about it? Carry on reading for a few tips on how to approach the hiring process during an ongoing labour shortage and where we can help!
Strategise
Knowing when you’re going to require more staff ahead of time (e.g. peak season) is important to staying ahead of the competition. Having a smooth hiring process is also essential, especially if you want to make a good impression on new hires and inspire them to stay for the long haul. Having a clear strategy in place will also help make the hiring process a lot less arduous and a lot more stress free!
Make sure you have ‘good press’
What we mean by this is ensure your brand is attractive - try focusing on why your company is great. With the battle for labour as intense as it’s ever been, you need to sell your business otherwise candidates will simply go elsewhere. Think about your USPs - do you offer flexible working? Will new hires receive access to free training courses? Whatever you’re proud of, make sure to brag about it.
