At LEAD we employ skilled crafts people who have a career trajectory in the vocational arts. Therefore, at LEAD, we do not have, hire or place “temp labor”.
As an “on-demand” skilled trade workforce resource, we do not hire every warm body that walks into our offices. Just as all employers, LEAD has the right to hire, or NOT hire, according to skill set criteria, work history, and other criteria within EEOC guidelines. Our candidates are screened according to LEAD’s methodology and those hired have the ability to select opportunities in alignment with their goals. Our employees are valued, full time, year round employees with a cafeteria of benefits, including Paid Sick Leave|Paid Time Off, holiday pay and 401k eligibility.
LEAD employs multiple recruitment strategies to ensure our Trade Network has a wide variety of available skill sets. We conduct job fairs and maintain strong working relationships with local government and employment services.
