Have you ever emailed in a resume and wondered if anyone even opened the document? Are you tired of aimlessly searching through online job listings, never quite finding your perfect fit? Groundworks, based locally in Montgomeryville, gets it.
Instead of sifting through faceless resumes, Groundworks will host an in-person hiring event on Tuesday, May 20 from 2 to 6 p.m. at its Montgomery Township office, located at 106 Park Drive. In need of talented installers, the award-winning working environment has opted to seek out the best candidates with the personalized event.
“Attendees at our May 20 hiring event will learn firsthand about how and why Groundworks is North America’s fastest growing and leading foundation repair and water management solutions company,” explained Catherine Petersen, the Vice President of Talent at Groundworks. “Potential hires will hear about the roles and responsibilities that come with being an installer, the multitude of benefits of working in the trades industry, as well as growth opportunities within Groundworks. Every Groundworks employee is also a part owner, and we provide advanced leadership training opportunities as a laborer.”
There are plenty of pluses to attending a hiring event, providing at minimum an in-person chance at nailing the job of your dreams.
“There are a number of benefits for job seekers in attending our upcoming hiring event as opposed to emailing their resumes,” said Petersen. “Speaking to our Groundworks employees face-to-face allows you the opportunity to share more details about your experience, what you're looking for in the role, as well as showcase your enthusiasm for the position in-person.”
A live hiring event can also speed up the rigamarole one often experiences when applying for a new role.
“Another incentive to attending the hiring event is that it expedites the opportunity for you to speak with key decision-makers at Groundworks, which in turn potentially allows you the chance to begin work with us quicker, in contrast to submitting a resume, following up, and waiting to begin the interview process,” said Petersen.
Groundworks is North America’s leading provider of foundation repairs, basement waterproofing, crawlspace encapsulation, and concrete lifting. Its installers are vital team members that travel, in a company-provided vehicle nonetheless, to the area’s homes to provide a variety of installation services. From installing foundation repairs, to encapsulating crawlspaces, an installer will become well-versed in basement waterproofing and concrete lifting solutions.
“Bring your best self and a willingness to learn and grow with us,” offered Petersen as advice to those attending. “We offer award-winning training programs at every level. We have structured training classes that teach not only skills within the installer role, but leadership training sessions, as well.”
Candidates with previous experience in construction, home services, trade work, general labor, or even landscaping would be an ideal fit for this open position. Potential hires should bring along a driver’s license and resume.
“We are looking for candidates who want to grow their careers in home services,” said Petersen. “We are looking for leaders who believe in performing in a customer-focused team environment. We are a company which believes in meritocracy and hard work.”
