Problem Solvers: Overrun with Underqualified Construction Labor?

Rely on Skilled Trades Staffing When Underqualified Labor Won’t Measure Up

At Power Labor, we’re the ace up every contractor’s sleeve. Our specialty? Providing skilled tradespeople on-demand to construction projects when they need it most. 

Picture this: A project’s demands suddenly outstrip a contractor’s workforce, either in numbers or specific skills. That’s when contractors face a crossroads: embark on a time-consuming hiring process or tap into Power Labor’s ready-to-go talent pool. 

Our advantage becomes crystal clear in these crunch moments. We seamlessly integrate skilled professionals into ongoing projects for as long as they’re needed. It’s not just about filling gaps; it’s about delivering expertise precisely when and where it matters. 

Searching for qualified tradespeople 

In today’s market, there is a lack of qualified tradesmen, which highlights our ability to screen and assemble a large pool of electricians, masons, or millwrights to place on your project, not to mention our ability to staff remote projects quickly and efficiently.  

We enable contractors to do more work. They can bid on multiple projects and use their own staff to supervise and run jobs while Power Labor provides the skilled workers to do the job under their direction. We allow smaller companies to grow their footprint, bidding on bigger projects because they know we can provide them with all the skilled tradesmen they need to complete the projects.  

Ramping up, adding headcount 

A small- or medium-size contractor may need to ramp up and add headcount for a new project. To organize and oversee the hiring themselves, they must develop job listings, advertise, screen, and vet everyone. For regular contractors, this kind of work isn’t a constant focus. For us, it’s all that we do. We’re a skilled trades staffing company, and regularly vetting, screening, recruiting, and adding to our talent base is a core competence.  

We’re always recruiting and evaluating new talent, which means we have a solid pool of experienced candidates who have shown they can get the job done. We focus on finding people who not only look good on paper but can deliver results in real-world situations. This approach helps us build a strong team of proven performers. 

Saving money 

When you work with us, you save the hassle and cost of finding workers on your own. Let’s say your project has a tight deadline, like 90 days. Once it’s done, you can send the workers back to us, and we’ll find them another job. This way, you can turn what would be a fixed cost into a flexible one. If you need an electrician or millwright again in the future, just give Power Labor a call. 

Many contractors are small operations with fewer than 20 employees. When they need more hands for a project extension or new work, they might end up paying overtime to get the job done. While some overtime is okay, too much can really add up. We offer a better solution by providing more workers with a wider range of skills, all while saving you money. 

Finding the right skilled tradespeople can be tough. Either you’ve tried everything or you just don’t have the time to search. That’s where we come in. You can reach out to us to see if we can help, and you won’t have invested anything yet. If the worker we send isn’t quite right for the job, no problem – just let us know, and we can try someone else within a day or two. The more we work together, the better we get at understanding what you need, so we can find the perfect fit for your projects. 

We deliver flexibility.  

Contractors often face project delays and changing conditions. Power Labor provides the flexibility to adjust workforce size when this occurs. This adaptability is crucial, as many contractors typically lack this flexibility when delays occur. Without it, sunk costs can lead to financial losses. By partnering with us, contractors gain better control over the human resources aspect of their projects.  

The benefits of working with us 

One of the best things about working with us is that we offer a fantastic benefits package to our employees. This helps us keep our team happy and stable, which means less turnover and more dedicated, skilled, and reliable people on the job. 

We provide benefits like paid vacations, holidays, health insurance, and a retirement plan with matching contributions – things that many smaller companies can’t offer. When you partner with us, you get to offer these benefits to the employees you lease from us. This way, you can keep your top performers – your supervisors, project managers, and lead craftspeople – and let us handle the rest.
