"Our partnership with iHire is a game-changer for construction hiring," said Dexter Bachelder, CEO of Propel People. "Contractors face an unprecedented shortage of skilled workers, and time is critical. By combining Propel People's AI-powered hiring tools with iHire's industry-focused network, our clients can quickly access the right candidates, reduce hiring bottlenecks, and keep projects moving on time."
The integration offers automatic job postings and applicant syncing, talent pipelining capabilities, and more candidate-centric, AI-enabled features designed to maximize reach when connecting with active and passive job seekers. This ensures small-to-mid-sized construction businesses can compete with larger companies for talent.
"iHire and Propel People's partnership is a perfect alignment," said Steve Flook, iHire's President and CEO. "iHireConstruction is one of the first iHire talent networks, and we've spent the past 26 years growing our construction-specific talent pools and enhancing our niche hiring tools that establish meaningful connections between job seekers and employers. Our integration with Propel will help create those connections even more effectively, as we further our mission to accelerate the future of work."
The joint solution addresses the challenges of an aging workforce, limited qualified applicants, and high competition for talent in the construction industry By meeting candidates where they are, whether on mobile or in the field, this partnership empowers construction companies to build stronger teams faster.
