THE building industry is booming according to all reports and trying to find skilled workers has become a serious challenge.
For one local contractor, he has decided to go an alternate route, a more tongue in cheek approach to recruitment.
Nygal Brown at Cubed Contracting placed an advertisement on Facebook seeking a new addition to his team expressing particular qualities.
“We’re on the hunt for another Bob, or Bobette. If you know this person, please encourage them to message Nyg.
Must:
– present well, comb your hair, be well groomed etc…
– have an interest in construction, in particular carpentry, tiling, and remodelling works
– be physically fit, enjoy coffee, donuts, working out, hits from the 80’s, and understanding classy movie references (or be willing to watch movies as homework to get the jokes)
– have a valid Australian license and a vehicle in which to arrive at work (no interlocks sorry)
– be willing to work different hours, and be willing to travel for work
– not have mum or dad call or message on your behalf, get off your arse and enquire yourself!
There’s other stuff, but basically if you get past this then you’ve got half a chance.”
According to Nyg, trying to find good qualified people has become more difficult, a sign that construction overall is doing better than some other industries.
“I have no problem paying over award and looking after the team if they can do the work,” said Nygal.
So far although it has only been a few days, there has been no response to his advert, perhaps the 80’s music might put a few people off.
For anyone interested in working for Nyg, call him on 0458 235 121
