Ever hired someone who seemed perfect in the interview—but turned out to be a costly mistake? Do you ever wonder if your gut instinct is really the best way to choose your next crew leader or office manager? Or are you just tired of repeating the same hiring cycle that drains your time, money, and sanity? In this video, I dive deep into the question, “Construction Mistakes: Should You Trust Your Gut In Hiring?” and uncover why gut instincts often mislead even the most experienced construction CEOs. If you’ve been trying to figure out how to hire the right employees, improve your hiring process, and build a strong team that actually delivers results, this is for you. I also share construction business tips and practical hiring process improvement steps that you can start using today—without the overwhelm. Whether you’re running a home building business, managing multiple crews, or leading a small construction firm, this episode offers insights that can help you upgrade your hiring strategy and streamline your effective hiring process.

When I say gut hiring fails, it’s not to judge—it’s to reveal how bias shows up when we least expect it. I share a real story about a construction owner who relied on his gut for years, only to find out that his “best” hires were his biggest losses. Then he switched to a structured hiring approach—asking every candidate the same job-specific questions, scoring their responses, and comparing results objectively. The outcome? His next hire became his top performer. This is what a structured, effective hiring strategy looks like in action. It’s not about eliminating intuition—it’s about guiding it with process. In this video, I walk you through practical hiring process tips, and how even small changes can lead to big wins when running a construction business.

If you’ve ever considered using a construction staffing agency or wondered how a construction virtual assistant (construction VA) could help you manage recruiting, scheduling, or documentation, I’ll also touch on how virtual support can simplify your operations. A virtual assistant for construction companies can free up your time so you can focus on what really matters—leading your team and scaling your business. I built this video to help you understand that the right systems, not just instincts, create stronger teams and smoother workflows.

So, before your next hire, take a few minutes to watch, reflect, and think about how you can make your home building business stronger through a more effective hiring process.
