Industrial matchmaker: SiteTalent launches with love
The specialized firm aims to disrupt traditional recruitment and build long-term relationships.
Was it “love at first job site” for your construction career?
SiteTalent wants to help others fall head over heels with helmets, hard hats and hammers. Today the company is officially launching to attract high caliber talent to the industrial sector.
The team thought it was only fitting to make the announcement on Feb. 14th, releasing a heartfelt love letter to the sector.
In the announcement the SiteTalent Team highlights their passion for the industrial sector – and the people that work in it. Talent is everything in the construction industry – and SiteTalent wanted to share the love.
“We know the industry is powered by talented people – and we wanted to provide an end-to-end talent solution for fast growing and dynamic companies ,” wrote SiteTalent. “We love this industry and share your passion for people.”
The SiteTalent team, part of the growing Site Team, noted that they are not interested in providing typical recruitment services.
“We are not a recruiter,” said Amelia Watt, Talent Partner with the company. “We go far beyond the typical recruiter experience, focusing on building full service solutions that deliver for companies. We are all about connecting jobseekers with the role of their dreams and providing clients with someone who can drive growth. We are a true full-package solution for building your A-list team.”
They aren’t interested in a fling. Rather than a transactional approach of parachuting in to get hires and then moving on, SiteTalent aims to use embedded teams, marketing strategies and onboarding expertise to partner with clients for the longterm.
SiteTalent also isn’t juggling multiple relationships. It has a specialized focus on the industrial sector. It can leverage deep industry knowledge, extensive experience, and a robust network to attract elite talent with leading companies. It’s a unique industry with unique quirks. SiteTalent has this dialed in.
It’s an approach that is already generating results.
Pre-Launch, SiteTalent has started to work with innovative and leading companies, including general contractors, design firms, product manufacturers and more.
SiteTalent’s team explained that construction doesn’t get done with just bulldozers, cranes and computers. It’s powered by people.
“Everything we do is to elevate the industrial sector, and the biggest, most critical component of the sector is the human beings that build the world around us,” said Andrew Hansen, Founder of Site. “We can’t complete that mission without helping companies connect with top talent.”
Staffing the industry has long been one of its biggest challenges. According to BuildForce Canada, the industry could face a recruiting gap of more than 85,000 workers by 2033.
This shortage is driven by multiple factors, including an aging workforce. The consequences of this labor deficit are significant for Canada’s economy and housing market. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has stated that approximately 5.8 million new houses need to be built by 2030 to recover affordability in the country’s housing sector.
