Current Challenges
For the last few years, Kalkreuth has been growing fast. But with only one full-time recruiter for five locations, the company needed solutions that would allow them to quickly fill open positions with qualified applicants while reducing the increased turnover experienced throughout the construction industry.
With 10 to 15 jobs typically open at all times, they needed a way to not only recruit enough talent but quickly get workers on the job. Posting jobs, sorting and storing applications and communicating with applicants manually took more time than the team had to get all their openings filled. In addition, it was difficult to get input from supervisors who were in the field. Getting resumes to them for review was another logistical stumbling block that slowed the process.
To reduce the need for hiring, they needed to put processes in place to improve retention and build a talent pool. But finding the resources to implement these processes was difficult while the team was consumed with hiring.
