Wrapping up a great week with a passive candidate I spoke to about the Atlanta market at length. Some takeaways from that conversation as well as candidate feedback across my team: 🔍 What candidates look for when moving companies in this space 🏗️ In today's dynamic construction industry, top talent seeks more than just competitive salaries. Here's what my candidates prioritized this week when considering a move: Career Growth Opportunities 🚀: Clear paths for advancement and professional development are crucial. The biggest pain point is feeling stagnant. Company Culture 🤝: A positive, inclusive work environment where their contributions are valued. Not to be confused with company size - some of the largest GCs ensure a collaborate and driven culture. No one wants to be seen as just a number and everyone loves a supportive team structure. Work-Life Balance ⚖️: Flexible hours and support for maintaining a healthy balance between work and personal life. Kind of a vague concept, but let's keep it simple and not bring people out to pour concrete on Christmas Day or penalize them for taking time off to tend to a sick child (both true stories). Attracting and retaining top talent means understanding these priorities and fostering an environment where employees can thrive. A solid compensation package is just the cherry on top! #ConstructionCareers #JobMarket #EmployeeExperience #TalentAcquisition #CareerGrowth #WorkLifeBalance
