He said he was a 6G pipe welder. The job paid top dollar. He looked good on paper. Our client was ready. Then he showed up… and couldn’t even strike an arc. We all looked like idiots. 👆 This is the kind of thing that happens when your recruiter’s never set foot on a job site. And unfortunately? That’s most of the industry. They’re hiring based on buzzwords. “Electrical.” “Welder.” “Pipe fitter.” Cool. Resume looks good. Send him out. Except now you’ve got a client wasting money - and time - on someone who should’ve never been on the list in the first place. That’s where we’re different. The first person vetting our candidates? Is a tradesperson. Someone who knows what to ask because they’ve been there. They can tell the difference between someone who’s all talk and someone who can actually do the work. We still screen for soft skills. We check the gaps, the transportation issues, the red flags, of course. But every person we send should come with proof. Not promises. We’re making that happen. Ready to hire the right trades folks today? Give us a shout. 🤳 #skilledtrades #workforcesolutions #welders

The trade shortage is a lie. It’s a pay issue. For years, we’ve heard “There’s a trade shortage!” But is there? Or is it just that companies aren’t paying enough? We ran a poll - 50/50 split between “trade shortage” and “pay rate issue.” Yet, companies keep making the same mistakes! 🚫 Lowballing workers 🚫 Slapping a job on Indeed 🚫 And wondering why no one applies 🤦♂️ We don’t rely on job boards. 👉 We build relationships. 👉 We prioritize referrals. 👉 We give first dibs to proven workers. That’s how you solve the real problem. The trades don’t have a shortage. They have options. Pay them what they’re worth, or watch them walk.

Contractors: If you’re not self-performing, why not? Seriously? Welding. Electrical. Concrete. Mechanical. The trades that bring the biggest margins and yet, contractors keep outsourcing them. Meanwhile, subs are charging sky-high rates, schedules are slipping, and projects are bleeding cash. But the companies pulling ahead? They’re the ones keeping key trades in-house. Yeah, this ruffles feathers. Subs don’t like hearing it. But let’s be real - why wouldn’t contractors take control when they have the talent to do it? The market isn’t what it was last year. Smaller companies are struggling. Big companies are printing money. And if you’re stuck somewhere in between, the only way to compete is by getting smarter about where your dollars go. So we’ll ask again: If you’re not self-performing, why not? Call LaborWorx to learn more about our turnkey workforce solutions and how we can help you increase margins and reduce risk. 📲 #generalcontractor #construction #skilledtrades

Most staffing agencies have no clue what a real tradesman looks like. They don’t know the difference between a real tradesman and a guy who did a "construction-core" photoshoot for his Instagram account. *see below 👇 That’s why you keep getting sent 👉 wannabe electricians who can’t read a set of plans 👉 pipefitters who have never laid a bead 👉 and carpenters who wouldn’t know a plum cut from a plum tree. Here’s a secret: Most staffing agencies aren’t vetting for skill. They’re vetting for buzzwords. ❌ “Electrician” on a resume? ✅ Good enough. ❌ Worked somewhere in construction? ✅ Close enough. ❌ Has a pulse? ✅ Hired. And then they dump these guys on your job site and make their commission while you’re left scrambling to fix the mess. We don’t play that game. AND we're not a staffing agency either. We're a solution. Every single worker we place is vetted by actual tradespeople. Not recruiters, not HR reps - guys who have been in the field and know the difference between someone who can talk the trade and someone who can actually do the work. ✅ Can they read a set of prints without guessing? ✅ Do they have the skills to work independently? ✅ Will they actually show up and do the damn job? Most staffing firms wouldn’t know a real tradesman if they smacked them in the face with a trowel. That’s why they keep sending you garbage. If you’re tired of dealing with staffing companies and want to find REAL talent with a workforce solutions company, send us a DM right now. #workforcesolutions #skilledtrades #tradesman #electricians #welders

"We’ll just hire someone ourselves." That’s what the client said at first. They needed a highly specialized candidate. Someone with the right skills, experience, and leadership to step into a key role. But after months of searching, posting job ads, and sitting through interviews that went nowhere, they were stuck. Then, they called us. 👉 We tapped into our network 👉 Vetted the top candidates and within weeks, we found the perfect fit. Someone who wasn’t actively job-hunting, but was exactly what the company needed. They made the hire. The new leader hit the ground running. And that “we’ll just do it ourselves” mindset? Gone. Hiring isn’t just about finding people - it’s about finding the RIGHT people. And that’s where we come in. 😏 #hiring #recruiting #skilledtrades

In 2022, Jenna Sherman found herself at a crossroads. A layoff. A company merger. A complete industry shift. After years in consumer goods, she was ready for something new - something more stable, more challenging, more meaningful. Construction wasn’t in her original plan. But looking back, maybe it was always meant to be. She had spent years relying on tradesmen and construction crews to bring projects to life. And the more she worked alongside them, the more she respected the industry that literally builds the world around us. So, when the time came to pivot, she didn’t just dip her toe in - she jumped in headfirst. Now, as an Account Executive at LaborWorx, Jenna is doing what she loves: helping shape the future of a growing company, bringing fresh ideas to the table, and building something bigger than herself. And maybe, deep down, this career shift was always in her blood. She grew up watching a woman in construction lead against the odds - her own mother. After Jenna’s grandfather passed away unexpectedly, her mom stepped up as President of Associated Gas Services, taking over an industry that, at the time, wasn’t exactly welcoming to women. Watching her mother navigate the challenges of leadership in a male-dominated industry shaped her perspective forever. And now? She’s carrying that same drive forward. Jenna’s journey into construction wasn’t traditional - but then again, neither is she. Thank you for all you do, Jenna! 🙏 #womeninconstruction #womenshistorymonth

Kristie Gates has been around construction her whole life. Her great-grandfather and grandfather were builders in Atlanta back in the ’50s, so she grew up comfortable in the industry. It’s always felt like home. Over the years, she’s worked in different roles, picked up new skills, and seen the business from different angles. But no matter where she’s gone, she’s always found her way back to one thing: the numbers. Now, as the Full Charge Bookkeeper at LaborWorx, she’s diving into a new side of the industry - recruiting. It’s a different pace, but the same core skills that have carried her through every stage of her career. Kristie’s worn a lot of hats, but at the end of the day, construction (and accounting) always pulls her back in. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. Proud to have you on board, Kristie! 👏 #womeninconstruction #womeninconstructionweek
