Why Construction Companies Are Hiring With Workable
Three organizations, one hiring platform, and the numbers behind the switch.
Construction hiring runs on volume, speed, and geography. Crews scale up and down with project load, skilled trades are hard to find, and every new market means another round of postings, screening, and scheduling. Workable’s track record in the space is why companies like Consigli Construction, Valard Construction, Elite Construction Solutions, and Hoffmann Brothers all run their hiring on the platform. Below are three of them, in their own numbers.
10 years on Workable, scaling from 100 to 2,000 workers on demand
Valard Construction, a Canadian utility contractor building power line infrastructure, has run every hire through Workable for a decade — through workforce swings from 1,100 to 2,000 employees and 200 to 250 hires a year. Automated candidate communication eliminated the candidate “ghosting” that plagues skilled-trade hiring, and a modernized careers page replaced what the team called an “archaic” job site.
78% more hires, 41% lower cost per hire
Elite Construction Solutions, a commercial roofing and general contracting company operating across eight U.S. markets, went live on Workable in less than a week. Annual hires grew from 129 to more than 230, cost per hire dropped from $3,400 to $2,000, and new-hire retention improved by 20% — all with the same recruiting team.
One job board to 20+, sponsorship spend down
Hoffmann Brothers, a residential and commercial contractor spanning HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services with more than 500 employees, ran its hiring through a single sponsored Indeed post before Workable. Live within days, the team now posts to more than 20 job boards, built a searchable resume database for the first time, and cut what it spent sponsoring listings by diversifying where candidates come from.
