At the core of every roofing business is its employees, each of which plays a critical role as part of a smooth-turning, profitable machine.
Today, hiring great employees has become more difficult than it has ever been, especially for skilled service businesses like roofing.
In fact, hiring quality employees is harder for roofers right now than it is for any other contractor.
So, what can a roofing company owner do?
All the marketing in the world won’t matter if there are not enough employees to complete the work.
What Must Roofers Identify To Hire Great Employees?
There are several key factors that roofing contractors must understand if they hope to attract and hire high-quality employees who will become long-lasting employees.
First, it is essential to acknowledge that experiences matter.
From the interview and hiring process to the business culture and company management, employees who have positive experiences from their first contact with a company are easier to recruit and then easier to train to become a valuable part of the company.
Secondly, contractors also need to understand that recruitment is essentially the same as marketing.
To find the right applicants, a roofer needs to engage in recruitment marketing to get the right message in front of the right people.
There is much more to it than simply placing a classified Help Wanted ad.
How Do Marketing Impressions Create Employee Experiences?
For roofers to attract the best high-caliber employees, they need to view those potential applicants in the same light as they would a future customer.
To attract new customers, roofers need to invest in effective marketing practices that increase awareness of their business while also shining a positive light on their brand.
Roofing customers naturally want to hire the most qualified and reliable contractor who can satisfy their needs.
Along those very same lines, a prospective employee wants to apply to a company with a positive brand image that shows evidence of business growth, as this company will have much more to offer them.
A mistake many roofers make, even if they have all of that, is simply not marketing it as part of their recruitment process, allowing them to end up overlooked while candidates apply with competitors.
