THE CHALLENGE
Skyline Construction had an immediate need to hire multiple candidates to fill their open carpenter positions. Their biggest struggle was finding skilled workers to fill these positions. As their workload increased their need to hire more carpenters did too. Skyline Construction’s Human Resources Secretary, Lydia Sadlowski, got in touch with WorkOne Business Liaison, Darnesia Bradley, who then directed them to Business Services Representative, John Holliday, to give them individualized assistance to determine which WorkOne Business Services they could utilize to meet their workforce needs.
THE SOLUTION
Holliday posted their open position on Indiana Career Connect, Indiana’s statewide job-matching system, to give them access to a larger pool of skilled and qualified candidates. In addition, he worked with other WorkOne staff to set up an event where WorkOne customers that were qualified for the position were able to come into the WorkOne office and fill out an application on-site. 13 customers attended that session.
THE OUTCOME
Sadlowski interviewed several of those candidates and successfully hired five for their open carpenter positions. This partnership is off to a great start and is expected to continue growing!
