Is it this bad for everyone?
All of my contractor friends here are in the same predicament; more work than they can handle, and can't find skilled help.
Are you having any success finding new employees, and if so, what is your strategy?
We can't even get an ad answered. The few "resumes" that do come in are terrible. I haven't interviewed anyone in weeks. The last couple I did were a complete waste of time. One guy said he went to trade school; in the interview says he didn't finish, and couldn't even tell me what classes he took other than "some electrical stuff..... And I was usually the first one finished."
We're using staffing services on most of our jobs now, and it's basically to get bodies on site at this point, when they actually show up.
We are turning down dollars every week. This is crazy.
