Hiring Challenges in General Construction
Subcontractor Reliability
GCs depend on subcontractor crews showing up on schedule. No-shows cascade into project delays and penalty clauses.
OSHA Compliance Documentation
Construction sites require OSHA 10/30 certifications, toolbox talk records, and incident logs that must be audit-ready at all times.
Skilled Trades Shortage
Carpenters, masons, and ironworkers are retiring faster than new workers enter the trades, creating persistent vacancies on active projects.
Project-Based Hiring Cycles
Hiring needs fluctuate with project pipelines, requiring rapid scaling up and down without sacrificing worker quality or safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hiring in General Construction
How does RecruitHorizon help with OSHA compliance documentation?
Onboarding checklists require OSHA 10 or 30 card upload, and the receipts and audit trail feature maintains a timestamped record of all compliance documents for audit readiness.
Can I track certified payroll hours for prevailing wage projects?
Time tracking captures hours by project and cost code, supporting certified payroll documentation requirements on public works and prevailing wage projects.
How does pipeline management handle project-based hiring?
You can create project-specific pipelines that track candidates from application through skills verification and project assignment, then archive completed project pipelines for record keeping.
