How Recruitroo Enabled Hatcon Construction to Successfully Hire International Skilled Trades After Deeming It Too Risky

1The Challenge

Hatcon Construction faced mounting pressures that threatened their ability to take on new projects. The European construction industry lacked sufficient bricklayers, carpenters, and general operatives. The immigration process seemed too risky and time-consuming to pursue. They required multiple skilled workers to join simultaneously for project staffing, and had uncertainty about assessing skills and English proficiency remotely.

2The Solution

Recruitroo's structured hiring approach eliminated uncertainty. Skilled trade verification used video skill demonstrations to verify practical abilities before interviews, with trade-specific screening ensuring candidates had relevant construction experience. Language and communication verification assessed English proficiency with construction terminology focus, verifying candidates could understand safety instructions and project specifications. Crew-based recruitment coordinated simultaneous hiring of complementary skilled trades, ensuring project teams could arrive and start together.
