Skilled trades folks deserve to see faces like these on the job site. A friendly face that's there to make sure they're receiving the support they need in order to succeed. But when they succeed, so does your project. 🙌 Recruiter Erick Garcia can always put a smile on anyone's face! 😁 #skilledtrades #skilledlabor #construction #skilledtradesstaffing

Why I’m going all in on skilled trades 👇 Imagine if skilled trades people were treated like top-tier athletes, with teams competing to recruit them like prized draft picks. Us? We’re the agents, the connectors, the ones ensuring these star players find their perfect match in the project-based world. Our mission is clear: empower skilled trades professionals to realize their true worth and the significant impact they can make.

As their advocates, we're leveling the playing field, ensuring fair compensation and optimal working conditions. We’re reshaping an industry that often overlooks the backbone of every successful project. At the end of the day, our goal isn't just about connections—it's about championing fairness and equity in every negotiation. It’s about connecting star players with star teams. Because once they’re in the right place, we can all watch projects flourish, leaving no doubt about the power of their skills. Nik #skilledtrades #construction #supportthetrades

An Artist Prepares 👨🎨 You may think you're looking at your average skilled tradesman, but what you're actually looking at is punch list specialist who knows their stuff. 🧰 Knocking out detailed punch lists at the conclusion of massive projects CORRECTLY can make or break project success. Without a properly address punch list, final inspections can't happen and therefore projects go over deadlines and over budget. 🤦♂️ #skilledtrades #skilledlabor #punchlistspecialist

I had no idea how transformative Jessica would be when I first hired her for a telemarketing position. She walked in on her first day with a binder so thick it could double as a doorstop. Intrigued, I flipped through its meticulously organized sales scripts, complete with objectives, reasoning, and color-coded tabs. It was essentially a master playbook for sales execution. Naturally, I assumed this was a product of her previous company’s training program. But Jessica smiled and said, "Oh no, I did all that myself." This was her method. She’d go home after work, write down the entire script, and break it down into a structured, logical format. Seeing this, I IMMEDIATELY knew we had someone special. I handed her our sales scripts and talk tracks. She transformed them into a system so efficient and clear that it gave me anxiety just thinking about how to START something like that. For Jessica, this was second nature. She didn’t even need to be asked. She simply saw what needed to be done and did it. Today, her system is an integral part of our onboarding process. New hires dive into her playbook from day one and instantly grasp the nuances of their roles. Jessica's approach is a prime example of taking ownership. She didn’t just follow instructions. She redefined them with her process. Jessica’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the best innovations come from those who see a need and take the initiative to fill it, even if it means doing so in their own time. That’s the kind of dedication and ingenuity that drives success. I’m so happy she’s here with us at Essel!

Essel Goes West! 🤠 Well, technically it's East. 😬 Either way, we're kicking the week off in Colorado where we've sourced a few local punch list specialists to help our client close out this multi-family property. 🏘 But even though we've sourced local talent, we're making sure they're receiving the support and communication they require in order to do the best job possible. Our Field Superintendent, Edi, is on-site making sure their needs are met as well as our clients'. ✅ Smooth communication = Smooth project completion! 👏 #skilledtrades #skilledlabor #construction #skilledtradesstaffing

Construction companies have an OUTDATED mindset about what a full-time hire should look like. 😵 I keep hearing about the so-called skills shortage in construction and other industries. Yet, every day, skilled workers are being hired to get the job done. So, what's really going on? In my experience, the supposed “skills shortage” often refers to a lack of new entrants from trade schools. But we’re missing a VERY critical point: Many skilled professionals prefer project-based work over traditional full-time roles. These experts thrive on moving from project to project, embracing the flexibility and variety it brings. They might not even be aware of the opportunities in industries like construction because they aren't looking for a conventional job. We need to shift our perspective and stop overlooking this talent pool. Recognizing that a desire for freedom and flexibility doesn't diminish someone's skill or value is crucial. This isn't a compromise; it’s an opportunity. Call it the gig economy or the project-based economy, but addressing the skills shortage means more than just training new people. It demands that companies embrace nontraditional hiring practices and adapt to meet the preferences of modern professionals. Only then can we truly solve the skills shortage and tap into the vast potential of project-based professionals. Nik #skilledtrades #laborshortage #construction
