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 […]

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.

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 […]

Our incoming phone lines are down. The best I can put together is that Vaspian is serviced by Windstream Corp who just filed for bankruptcy. I cannot say for sure if its all related but if it is we might be waiting for our phones for some time. My cell is 716-570-2604, however, best might […]

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 […]
