Description:
Skilled Trades Personnel is structured like other temporary and permanent placement agencies. However, we serve clients with needs for select specialized professionals in the construction industry, rather than clerical or light industrial workers. Several businesses in the Dallas/Ft Worth area provide a similar service to specific groups of people and clients. Skilled Trades Personnel followed the model of one placement firm described below.
A similar construction staffing firm places temporary and contract workers who are professionals in the construction trades. Employees earn between $10 - $30 per hour and approximately 50 - 100 employees are placed per month. The firm recruits through it's website, advertises in newspapers, online ad placements, and thru word of mouth. Incentives offered to contingent workers include medical, dental, and disability insurance, and a reference finder’s fee for placement referrals. They find their employees are mainly 90 percent male with 10 percent females with ages spread evenly.
Skilled Trades Personnel serves the business client by locating a professional worker, interviewing and screening that worker, setting up interviews if necessary, and administering all hiring paperwork. The company runs payroll and bills the client on a weekly basis. Skilled Trades Personnel will also manage the professional, staying in close contact with the client and communicating with the worker regarding any personnel issues that may arise.
