How many people would show up at your funeral and say that they would not be who they are today without your leadership? It’s a difficult question, but one worth considering.

I am a headhunter for the construction trades, and my clients have great jobs! I am a carpenter by trade and have lived and worked in Buffalo all of my life. My company is Squarefoot Tradesmen. We are not a national chain, a job board, or an aggregation website. We are the human part of […]

We frame houses for Forbes Capretto and we’re are starting one this week in Springville over by the quarry. My crew is essentially my brother and myself. We could use a decent Carpenters Helper for this project. Our preference is to hire someone who knows enough about operating a circular saw to not cut his […]

We have a hotel to wire in Olean and a hospital addition in Springville coming up in the very near future and could use some help. If you know what to do with MC cable, have time to jump on a project, and live in that neighborhood …then reach out to me.

I wasn’t going to bother writing because I figure—it’s the height of the season, unemployment is low, there are mountains of opportunity out there—you’re probably happily working and making lots of money! If for some crazy reason you or someone you know is not checking all of those boxes, I know of 192 pretty decent […]

Sqrft Tradesmen working with Paramount Roofing installed EPDM on The Forge on Broadway. On site were Dan Rosario, Patrick Shea, and Luis Velez Jr. Another partner, Heatwave Heating and Cooling, has Kervin Davis installing HVAC.     To apply, send an email to recruiter@sqrft.net

I have a list on my whiteboard of more than 150 quality companies who for whatever reason just can’t seem to find the right person. Putting you together with them is all about timing, or circumstance, or maybe I misunderstood what you were all about.

Over the last 21 years, I or my staff have interviewed a cumulative 45,000 job seekers. It’s easy but often dangerous to draw random anecdotal conclusions about things like industry wages and why simply from our experience. Ideally, we would be able to collect real verifiable data. So I built my first survey..which I’ve learned […]

First, break all the rules! If you want your resume to get noticed, then stop making it read like a thousand other people who want the same job. Put nothing on your resume that could also be found on someone else’s. Everything on your resume should be 100% you! WHAT NOT TO DO NO keyword […]

You need an OSHA 10 certification to be in compliance with OSHA standards. Not all construction companies enforce this regulation—just the good ones 🙂 You can buy this class online for about $85 or get it here for free When: Mon 5/20 & Tues 5/21 — both days are 4:00 pm till 9:15 pm Where: A.D. Price […]

Today I interviewed a girl who wanted to learn a trade and be just like April Wilkerson. Check out her channel. She’s pretty badass!

I was scanning some old files and found this positive endorsement of our company. We were in our 5th year back then. Kimberly had just earned her degree in Accounting from Canisius. If I am not mistaken, she is now a Controller at a prestigious law firm. I’m proud of her! I regret to inform […]

Framing since high school, now at 46, I believe his carpentry experience and skill put him in the top 5% of carpenters in Western New York.

It’s just about construction time in Buffalo. Time to get off your butt and get back to work 🙂 I’ve received calls for entry-level, general labor, and experienced helpers in just about every trade—commercial carpenters, plastering, restoration, landscaping, masonry, with much more to come very soon. This is not temp work, and we pay top […]
