The landscaping industry’s labor shortage isn’t getting any better, and let’s be honest—throwing a “Help Wanted” magnet on your truck isn’t going to cut it anymore.
In this episode of The Beer Garden, we’re digging into strategies for hiring in a competitive market—because let’s face it, you can’t scale your business without the right people. Whether you’re a seasoned hiring pro or just desperate to fill a role yesterday, this episode has something for you.
What’s Inside:🌎 Understanding the Labor Market – No, it’s not just “kids these days don’t want to work.” We’ll break down what’s really going on in the job market and why landscapers are struggling to find employees.
🏆 The Role of Company Culture – Want to attract top talent? Your culture matters more than you think. We’ll share real-world examples of how a great company culture keeps employees happy (and on payroll).
📢 Recruitment Strategies That Actually Work – Posting a job ad and praying is not a strategy. We’ll cover creative recruiting tactics like hiring bonuses, social media outreach, recruiting from other industries, and even multilingual hiring.
📚 Addressing the Skills Gap – Hiring is one thing, but training is another. Learn how to develop employees from entry-level to leadership roles, while keeping your business running smoothly.
🛠️ Streamlining the Hiring Process – If you’re tired of sorting through unqualified applicants, we’ll discuss how an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) can save you time, speed up hiring, and keep your sanity intact.
🔮 The Future of Landscaping Employment – What’s coming next in hiring? We’ll talk about trends like automation, sustainability, and what the industry might look like in the next 5-10 years.
Finding good help isn’t impossible—you just need the right approach. Tune in to The Beer Garden and get the hiring strategies you need to build an all-star team.
