    Hiring recruiters is a nightmare. 😵💫 And yes, I'm a staffing company owner telling you this. I get it — hiring recruiters is probably one of the least favorite parts of your job as a hiring manager or business owner. I’ve heard all the horror stories. 😱 But you don’t have to rely on US if you’re willing to invest in the right tools. Here are 3 game-changing tools that can make sure you never need to hire a recruiting firm ever again 👇 1️⃣ First up is LinkedIn Recruiter This tool is like a treasure chest for professional hires. Yes, it’s pricey—but if you’re making multiple hires annually, it’s worth every penny. LinkedIn Recruiter lets you dive deep into profiles and resumes, and post jobs directly to the network where top talent is already hanging out. It’s particularly great for those professional, white-collar roles. 2️⃣ Next is Indeed Smart Sourcing Sure, posting jobs on Indeed is a given, but Smart Sourcing takes it to another level. For a subscription fee of $400 to $600, you can proactively reach out to 50 to 100 candidates each month—targeting the exact skills and experience you need. This tool is especially effective for craft workers, field positions, and construction roles, where LinkedIn might not have as much reach. 3️⃣ Finally, invest in a lightweight Applicant Tracking System (ATS) You don’t need the top-of-the-line $20,000 version—just something that organizes your hiring process and tracks candidates through each stage. This tool gives you the structure you need to stay on top of your hiring pipeline without breaking the bank. With these three tools — ✅ LinkedIn Recruiter, ✅ Indeed Smart Sourcing, ✅ and a solid ATS You’ll have everything you need to build your team without ever calling a staffing firm again. And yes, as a staffing company owner, I’m telling you this because I believe in empowering organizations to take control of their hiring. Nik #staffing #hiring #recruiting

    When our employees start on a new project, we have a company protocol to walk them into the job site and make sure everyone's settled in before getting to work for the day. We want to make sure our employees are in the correct place, have the correct gear, and are on a first-name basis with their higher-ups. It's a personal touch that not many skilled trades staffing services offer. But we find that when we make personal introductions and put in some "face time", the overall success of the project is a better outcome. Here's our director of recruitment J.R. Manu at one of our job sites in Orange County where we're providing punch list specialists. 👊 #skilledtrades #staffing #construction #staffingagency

    Don't settle for a punch list specialist that isn't just that - a specialist. I've seen too many projects arrive at the finish line but then fail to cross it because their punch list wasn't knocked out correctly. Here's why this person is essential to you successfully wrapping up your project before a final inspection 👇 ✅ Ensures Quality Control A punch list specialist meticulously checks every detail of the project to ensure that all work meets the required standards and specifications. This prevents any overlooked issues from affecting the final outcome. ✅ Identifies and Prioritizes Deficiencies They expertly identify and document any remaining defects or unfinished tasks. Therefore the project team can prioritize and address these issues efficiently before the final inspection. ✅ Streamlines Communication The specialist acts as a liaison between the construction team, subcontractors, and the client. Ensuring clear communication about what needs to be completed or corrected, can speed up the resolution process. Also, I just had to throw RayGun in there one more time. She's a legend. 🙌 Nik #punchlist #skilledtrades #construction

    These are the real rockstars. 🤘 You know how we know? Here's the rave review they received from our client: "I just wanted to give you a call to let you know that the four guys you sent out with me to do the waste sort. Jeremiah Sonny Victor and Michael, they, I just wanna let you know they are all really awesome. We really appreciated all their positive attitude and work. And I, I just wanted to make sure they got a good review because they were excellent to work with." Wow. What a way to start the day. Team Essel doing good for the world and kicking butt at the same time! 👏 #environmental #wastemanagement #sustainable

    Storms don't cause construction delays. Lack of preparation FOR those storms causes delays. Here's how one site lost weeks, while another barely lost a day. 👇 During the rainy season in California, two construction sites faced the same challenge: severe flooding. But the outcomes couldn’t have been more different. Site one showed up on Monday morning to a nightmare. Water was 3 to 4 feet high on every floor, and panic set in. The crew spent the first 40 minutes assessing the damage, scrambling to figure out what to do next. By midday, they started calling around for help, but it wasn’t until late in the day that they secured a company to bring in drying equipment. The catch? The equipment wouldn’t arrive until the middle of the next day. The result? Weeks of delays, subcontractors left waiting, and schedules thrown into chaos. Site two? A completely different story. The first person on-site wasn’t even the superintendent—it was the foreman. He saw the flooding, knew exactly what to do, and within two hours, machines were on-site, drying out the building. By the end of the day, work was back on track. The next day? Business as usual, with no time lost. What made the difference? Preparation. The superintendent at the second site had a moisture management plan in place, ready to go before the first drop of rain hit. It wasn’t about preventing the flood—it was about knowing how to respond when it happened. In the world of construction, it’s not the unexpected that derails a project; it’s being unprepared for the unexpected. One site lost half a day; the other lost weeks. The difference? A plan. Do you have plans in place for when these events inevitably occur? Nik #construction #skilledtrades #expecttheunexpected
