Recruiting Best Practices in a Candidates’ Market

10/18/23 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST

About the Webinar

For years, A/E/C and environmental consulting firms have struggled with attracting (and retaining) key staff. But all too often, firms shoot themselves in the foot by not being sufficiently intentional, thorough, and persistent in identifying and recruiting staff. Project workload gets in the way…as does a lack of processes and systems that when followed, would yield better results. Join Rich Friedman for a discussion of these topics and others:

  • Getting your ducks in a row: The position description, talking points/pitching angles, and interview guide
  • Candidate identification: What are the most effective tools?
  • Candidate outreach and ongoing communication: Using all of the arrows in your quiver
  • The interview process: The importance of preparation and consistent messaging 
  • Crafting an appealing offer: Getting to “yes” without blowing up your salary structure
  • Candidate red flags: Observations from 30+ years of recruiting in the A/E/C Industry
