Dallas Construction is Booming
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex leads Texas in construction activity. Commercial projects, residential development, and infrastructure work all compete for skilled tradespeople. When an electrician or carpenter decides to look for work, they have options—and they take the first offer that moves quickly.
DFW contractors report that licensed tradespeople are typically employed within 5 days of starting their search. The first contractor to reach them usually wins.
Construction workers can't take calls during the workday—they're on job sites. By the time they can return calls after work, most HR offices are closed. The hiring window is narrow.
