New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/31/2022 -- Labor shortages present one of the biggest challenges to the recovery of the US construction sector today. Federal employment data released by the Associated General Contractors of America indicates that one of the reasons for employment below the levels seen prior to the pandemic is simply the fact that there aren't enough workers to fill roles. According to the Association, it's the tight labor market that is preventing recovery to levels seen before the pandemic began. Although there has been a significant increase in construction activity in recent months, it is being held back by the lack of human resources. At the end of October 2021, for example, the number of job openings available exceeded the number of workers hired into the sector that month. Investment in technical education and messaging that moves away from the idea that a good career requires a college degree are all going to be part of the process of attracting the vital talent that can help drive recovery across the industry.
As a construction recruiter, LVI Associates is all too aware of the significant demand for talented people - and the shortages that exist across the industry. The firm is a highly experienced recruitment specialist for engineering and infrastructure with expertise in many related fields, including building services, forensics and renewable energy. It is also a construction recruiter with access to a database of more than a million mid-to-senior professionals which, given the current shortages, is a key advantage. The firm works with a broad spectrum of businesses looking for the specialist support of a construction recruiter with a wealth of reach and expertise, whether those are agile, innovative start-ups or internationally renowned brands. A combination of permanent, contract and multi-hire solutions allow the firm to create hiring options for every need.

In addition, LVI Associates is the recruitment partner of choice to hundreds of world-leading companies as part of the Phaidon International group, which operates across 6 countries.
