Today, the Kansas City real estate industry is booming, with the Kansas City Star reporting a 13.6 percent boost in sales between 2014 and 2015 and a 5.6 percent increase in average sale prices over the same period. Moreover, the skyrocketing demand for homes in the Kansas City region has recently given rise to a sellers’ market in which the demand for area housing is growing faster than available homes. These statistics are promising for those working in the industries of home construction and construction engineering, both of which are vital to meeting the urgent need for expanded area housing. And as many local construction businesses face this new challenge, they are confronted also by the need to grow their in-house talent.
As anyone in the construction industry knows, successfully completing a construction project is a team endeavor that requires the unique expertise of an array of individuals. And unsurprisingly, the most successful construction firms are those that employ the top talent in the industry. That being said, in a job seeker’s market it can be a time consuming—and costly—burden to sort through each and every employment application in order to identify those candidates who possess the specific combination of education, experience, and personality you are looking for.
Fortunately, a recruiting firm in Kansas City can dramatically streamline your hiring process by taking responsibility for the heavy lifting, from reviewing resumes to verifying education and employment history to conducting first-round interviews. Armed with an in-depth knowledge of your industry and the specific position advertised, a recruiter can provide a great deal more than a resume. By assessing the extent to which each job candidate’s experience and expertise aligns with your requirements, a recruiter can provide a comprehensive picture of each applicant, helping you to identify the most outstanding candidate for the position.
Working with a contract recruiting firm also has benefits that extend far beyond simplifying the initial hiring process. One of the most valuable attributes of a skilled recruiter is the ability to gauge the compatibility of candidates with your specific workplace culture. By helping you identify job candidates whose work habits and personality—in addition to their expertise—jibe with those of your existing employees, a recruiter can help to ensure that your new hire is an asset and not a detriment to your team.
