Project management is a rapidly growing career option - especially in the field of construction. It’s estimated that by the year 2027, the US project management labor force is expected to grow by 33% and reach around 22 million jobs!
If you’re interested in pursuing a career in project management or are looking for one for your construction business—you’ve come to the right place.
The human resource function of businesses has undergone major changes over the last few years. What was once called recruitment is now referred to as ‘talent acquisition.’ Over the years, businesses realized that the right ‘talent’ is as equally an asset to the company as other tangible assets. Because talent is critical, companies have also started outsourcing the function for higher efficiency.
Before you outsource yours, let’s walk you through the recruitment process:
Over the past few years, the USA has dealt with an acute shortage of skilled labor. As of January 2019, there were as many as 7.6 million unfilled construction jobs in the country. During this time, only 6.5 million people were looking for these jobs, which means the country needs more construction workers! To bridge the gap, the US government announced $1.5 trillion for infrastructure construction, indicating that things are going in the right direction.
Things are changing for ‘hiring and recruitment practices’ around the world. What was a largely in-house function once is now outsourced by around 50% of the companies.
According to Forbes, recruiting the right talent is both an art and a science. The task is better done when left to professionals.
