354: Why You Can’t Find Good Employees (And What to Do Instead)


Listen Later

If you’re struggling to find good employees, you’re not alone.

Most roofing contractors say the same thing:

“There’s no good people out there.”

But that’s not the real problem.

The truth is — there ARE good people.

They’re just not working for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Paul from Contractor Staffing Source to break down how to actually build a recruiting system that attracts better people, responds faster, and helps you stop the revolving door.

We cover:

  • Why writing a job post doesn’t work (and what to do instead)
  • The biggest mistake contractors make when hiring
  • Why speed matters more than you think
  • How to filter and assess the right candidates
  • Why hiring the wrong person can cost you $50,000+

If you want to build a business that doesn’t rely on you for everything, this is a must-listen.
