Builders and Contractors
Use better behavioral assessments to build high-performing teams for builders and contractors.
The average building and contractor company is dealing with a 5.1% job opening rate. In addition, the Associated Builders and Contractors reports that employers in this industry need to hire up to 500,000 workers in 2024. These employers are particularly concerned that younger people have little interest in the jobs that are available.
To combat this trend, employers have invested in building training pipelines with vocational and trades schools. While this strategy may build a bigger applicant pool, not every individual will fit well into the jobs they apply for. With TeamTrait pre-hire assessments, you can identify the candidates who are best suited to your positions and your company.
If you're looking for a better alternative that provides better assessments at a better value, then you need to check out TeamTrait.
Success for builders and contractors starts with hiring better people.
The wide variety of jobs in this industry means some positions will require the successful candidate to be physically strong and nimble.
For other positions, mechanical aptitude is a must. In addition to the hard skills, you may be searching for individuals who are good team players and who can think on their feet to solve a problem that may delay the completion of a project.
You can learn more about an applicant’s mindset and likely behavior in a working setting by using TeamTrait. The 20-minute psychometric assessment delivers guidance and data that reduces your risk of hiring the wrong person for the job.
"We take our time to find the candidate who is the best job, cultural, and team fit. We love that TeamTrait delivers well-rounded insights regarding skillset and mindset."
