The most costly and important investment that roofing contractors make in their businesses is not their marketing or equipment, but their employees.
The right employees can guarantee business growth, while the wrong ones can keep roofers from ever achieving the success they dream of for their companies.
Unfortunately, many roofers with the best intentions to keep their companies well-staffed with great employees limit themselves due to certain incorrect beliefs about hiring.
By avoiding some common and restrictive hiring myths, roofers can find and hire top-performing employees to support their business growth.
Finding Employees Gets More Challenging Every Year
Today’s workforce is much different than it has ever been in the past, with many industries seeing a shrinking worker pool to hire from.
The median age of roofers, including lead contractors/CEOs running their own companies, is getting higher and closer to retirement age, while fewer younger people are entering the business to eventually take their places.
Changing mindsets about careers and a diminishing interest in labor jobs have Gen Z avoiding many industries that until recently made up the main labor pool for roofing companies and other contracting businesses.
With substantially fewer applicants to choose from, hiring great employees is becoming more difficult for roofers every year.
Roofers Must Improve Their Hiring Practices
So what is the answer to hiring great employees who can keep a roofing business moving forward?
Without new and great employees, roofing contractors face the possibility that their business growth will come to a halt, making future survival questionable.
To avoid that, contractors must adopt effective hiring practices that go far beyond marketing and placing help-wanted ads.
They need to avoid hiring mistakes like overlooking trainable people, skimping on hiring, and not working with a hiring agency, all of which can be costly.
Instead, roofers must embrace new ways to find great employees, the first of which is to truly understand the value of a great employee and how to recognize a suitable recruit that can be turned into one.
