Main Street Recruitment Assembles Teams of Skilled Workers to Meet the Needs of Businesses at a Time When They Are Needed Most

Main Street Recruitment the Cleveland-based employment marketing agency, focused on strengthening the skilled labor workforce, utilizes their proprietary technologies to target skilled workers at a time when it matters most. The United States Government consistently reports on the lack of available skilled workers, with the shortage being felt in every blue-collar vertical.

“Today’s market is far more challenging than in the past,” said Kristin Conteen, President, Main Street Recruitment. “Reaching potential candidates means marketing to them in new ways, while understanding the challenges associated with placing them in open positions. Skilled workers understand they are in the driver’s seat when it comes to taking a new position. This mentality has forced a paradigm shift with respect to the compensation packages offered by potential employers.”

The skilled worker shortage is one of the reasons for the supply chain and transportation shortages throughout the country. According to the United States Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), the labor shortage is a direct consequence of “the number of skilled workers looking for positions versus the number of open positions waiting to be filled.” A skilled worker is any worker who has a special skill, training, or knowledge that is applied to their work. They may have attended a college, university, or technical school. On the job training is a continuous process in a vast majority of blue-collar positions. BLS reports that over 41% of all workers in the United States are considered skilled workers.

“The needs of the post-pandemic workforce are different than at any time in the past,” said Conteen. “We believe supply is lower now than pre-pandemic times because there are more women leaving the workforce, COVID disrupted the demand for an increasing workforce, and our economy has changed dramatically in the past few years. Proper job matching and recruitment is both an art and a science. Our success clearly demonstrates Main Street’s deep understanding of this highly specialized market.”
