The summer sun is here to stay: the construction season is upon us. Whether you’re in the thick of a commercial development project or you’re handling smaller contracts that come your way, you’ll need a strong summer staff to get the job done. Seasonal staffing can be a challenge for any construction company, especially with a decrease in eligible workers. If you want to stand out in the construction industry summer season, we’ve got some best practices to keep you prepared.
Don’t Wait
This is our number one tip for seasonal construction staffing. If you start summer hiring in June, you’re too late. The best construction professionals start seeking work in the spring. Create a hiring schedule sometime in the winter that you can bust out as soon as warmer weather approaches. Identify what openings you’ll have, and even create job listing mock-ups. Prepping your hiring process ahead of time will prevent any delays when it’s time to bring in candidates.
Find Temporary Talent
Temporary staffing is a perfect fit for the summer construction rush. Bringing in seasonal workers allows you to get the job done on time, and hiring temporary staff is typically a much faster process than filling permanent positions. Seasonal staffing is all about filling immediate needs, often with a specific skill set. Temporary staffing allows you to do just that, especially if you work with an agency like CCS Construction Staffing.

Utilizing a staffing service will let you hand over the HR troubles and focus on project management.
