<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style= "color: #0000ff;"><strong>This Podcast Is Episode Number 0350, And It's About How To Find And Keep Top Construction Employees</strong></span></h1> <div>We all know the usual process of finding new employees. Advertise a job,  read resumes, conduct a telephone interview, conduct a face-to-face interview, then choose someone. The steps to recruiting new talent have been the same for decades, leaving many construction business owners to think these are the only way to find new employees. </div> <div> </div> <div>There are many top-notch employees that you might not find if you don't change your strategy, however, these days there are many new and exciting ways to connect with possible staff and attract qualified employees to your business. All you have to do is be willing to be creative in your thinking. </div> <div> </div> <div> <p><span style="color: #0600ff;"><strong>Get your current employees on it</strong></span></p> <div>Besides you, who knows better what you need in an employee than your current employees? Not only do they know what you need, but they can also vouch for the people they recommend. Using an employee referral program can save you the costs associated with advertising a position, undergoing extensive interviews, and then training and retraining employees who don't work out. </div> <div> </div> <div>How does it work? Your employees recommend people for a job with your company, and if their recommendation is successful, they get a reward. This can be a cash bonus, a gift, additional days off work, or the opportunity to work from home for a few days. </div> <div> </div> <div>Make sure the program's details are precise: does the referred employee have to be hired for the benefit to kick in, or do they have to work at your company for a specific period? Does the gift get more extravagant if they recommend more successful recruits?</div> <div> </div> <div>Keep the rules simple and make sure all employees know about the program. </div> <p><span style="color:
