Why Use a Hiring Company for Your Construction Labor Needs?

29 January 2016

Managing a construction crew can be a difficult part of owning a construction company, as you always need personnel who are properly licensed and trained for any jobsite; it can take a lot of time double-checking paperwork and licensing when you need to hire on new crew members. You may also see that you have a high turnover in personnel as your workers are often tempted to take a construction job that is closer to home, easier work, and so on. Using a hiring company for your construction labor needs can help alleviate some of the burden of this part of running your company. If you've never thought about using a hiring company, note a few of the benefits of this arrangement.

1. Staff can be varied daily

One reason you might lose your fulltime staff is that they may not appreciate it if their work is varied daily, but using a hiring company can alleviate this issue. You can tell the company where and when you need workers and how many you need each day, and they can fill that order for you. This means not trying to hire or keep workers who may expect or demand more or steadier work, or who aren't available for various shifts.

2. Running multiple projects

Being able to run multiple projects can mean a higher profit for your business, but managing the crew of more than one project can be a challenge. However, if you use a hiring company and simply tell them what staff you need at each project, they can manage the entire process for you. This can leave you to the work of actually overseeing the progress of the work, managing vendors, dealing with customers, and the like. Using an agency can then mean expanding your business without needing to worry about trying to schedule your crew to go back and forth to various projects.

3. De-hire quickly

The construction industry is somewhat notorious for having holdups for a particular project; vendors may not provide materials on a timely basis or inclement weather may interfere with the work. Having to de-hire your crew can be unpleasant and difficult, and can mean having crew members not available when a project is ready to start again. Using a labor hire company can mean simply making a phone call when you need to de-hire, either temporarily or permanently, and then being able to rehire the workers you need when a project gets back on track.
