(Recruiting as usual isn't keeping up with changing labor conditions.)
Every time you need to reach beyond your internal resources, you're left without the talent you need because the bench you were relying on doesn't have the tradespeople you were promised.
Last-minute recruiting leads to delays. Not to mention overruns, waste, and lost productivity because you're forced to use labor that is unproven or lacking essential skills.
Every project is pulling from the same shrinking pool of skilled labor, and last-minute changes and shrinking timelines leave you with gaps and missed deadlines.
In a perfect world, your manpower plan and labor partners would deliver the results you need to retain your margins and finish products on time.
Tradespeople with skills and experience
in the unique demands of your project.
Confidence that you’ve got the plan
and back-up resources to finish on time.
A proven and deep bench that supports
you throughout the entire project.
Skilled tradespeople with the experience
to support a safe work environment.

But they face the same labor shortage as the rest of the industry, and without a special focus on your project, they often deliver inexperienced and mixed-skill labor. What’s worse, they aren’t transparent about what they can actually deliver, leaving you scrambling for help.
But, they force you to compete with every project that can post a job listing and then provide unproven labor that you have to vet yourself. Often you don’t know who you’re getting until they’ve been on the job for a week.
But new projects, last-minute changes, labor shortages, high cost of maintaining incumbent workers, and painful turnover expense can bury project HR coordinators.
