Do you feel that your job application or submitted resume ends up in the abyss of a black hole? Well, you are not alone! Job applicants, even those who have paid for a professional resume, are struggling to get noticed.
The job market for skilled trades, especially electricians, is booming. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that 80,000 new electrician jobs will be created annually through 2031, making this the highest demand in history for electricians.
“With wages and benefits, and labor costs rising, LEAD is a viable option for companies looking for workforce solutions in these hard times.” says LEAD New England’s Managing Partner, Dick McLaughlin.
The electrician sector is a complicated and varied place, and skilled trade workers capable of working to the highest standards can be hard to find. A top-tier staffing partner can be indispensable for the success of large-scale solar projects, commercial, industrial, and multi-unit residential and mixed-use projects.
LEAD New England is highlighting the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) initiative to raise electric safety awareness this May, as the non-profit carries out its annual campaign to educate citizens and workplaces on the danger of fire hazards, injuries, and property damage resulting from unsafe electrical conditions.
With so much changing in today’s labor market, making the decision to bring on an employee from a local staffing agency versus bringing somebody in from the outside can be tough, but there are a lot of benefits to hiring local that avoid some of some serious drawbacks of relying on traveling hires.
The average age of a skilled tradesperson in the United States continues to tick upward, now at 58 in 2022, and the difficulties in bringing in new talent, and the implications for building projects, requires companies to adopt a flexible strategy to their staffing plans.
As shifting employment patterns change the way companies hire, train, and pay their workers, LEAD New England has continued to deliver high quality skilled workers to job sites by addressing the changing labor environment head on.
Dick McLaughlin, Managing Partner at LEAD New England, closely tracks the economic trends so his team will always be ready to make the most of any changes in the labor force and the broader economic situation.
A recent Glassdoor survey found that 70% of job seekers use social media to find their next gig and hiring companies use Twitter, Facebook and other social sites to announce jobs to their followers. “Social media has become a large part of our personal and professional lives, especially since the coronavirus pandemic forced social distancing,” says Dick McLaughlin, managing partner of LEAD New England, a skilled trade staffing company.
