Hiring Challenges

Across the Heavy

Equipment Sector

Companies hiring heavy equipment talent face several industry-wide challenges:

A Shrinking Skilled Trades Workforce

Retirements are rising, and fewer young professionals are entering mechanical and operator roles. We’ve built a database of over 6 million people to choose from allowing us to find candidates even when there are a lack of workers in the industry.

High Competition Across Multiple Industries

Construction, transportation, agriculture, energy, and logistics all hire the same operators and technicians. We can get your heavy equipment job opening in front of these candidates quickly and portray your brand as a better option than others.

Rapid Technological Advancement

Equipment is smarter and more automated, requiring workers who can adapt to telematics, GPS controls, diagnostics, and computerized systems. Through screenings and interviews, we ensure that all your potential candidates are up to the task.

Seasonal and Project-Based Workflows

Companies need fast recruiting solutions that can scale when large contracts or sudden equipment demands arise. WorkRocket has a proven track record of making quick placements in situations like this and can help you place heavy equipment workers quickly.

Richmond, Virginia-based Mark Franko Custom Building needed to find Estimators and Carpenters to join their team.

“We were like inexperienced homeowners trying to build a complex
custom home and flailing around in the dark. We needed carpenters
and estimators – our own efforts weren’t working and we had no
time. The volume and quality of the candidates is way above what
we had. The amount of time saved alone is incredible and an
accelerator in and of itself.” – Mark Franko
