Where did the Punchers go?

Posted on by Vittorio Borgo

One of the requests for personnel that we are very busy about in this period concerns the search for specialized drillers.

Drillers are operators of drilling probes and must be able to perform operations such as micropiles, tie rods, tunnel insertions and jet grouting.

Why are professionals hard to find?

We would like to tell that the scarcity of these professionals is due to the departure of many jobs at the same time; unfortunately this is not the case.

The first real reason is that there are fewer and fewer specialists.

For 15 years, no major infrastructure works have been carried out in Italy. This slowdown is not allowing an adequate placement of young people who can learn the secrets of these processes.

Listen to Vittorio Massimo Borgo’s video about this problem.

How do you become a perforator?

Having drilling machines license is obviously a prerequisite. But it is by no means enough to approach using a probe to drill and consolidate soil.

Many believe that the use of these complex machines can be easily learned, unfortunately this is not the case, and we have proof of it every time we meet some experienced perforator who tries to sell themselves as an expert in drilling.

Many years of on-site experience and coaching are required in which the youngs, with sacrifice, must learn the technique of the many processes that make up the geotechnical engineering system.

When you start drilling you need to know the probe, the equipment and the terrain you are operating on. These skills are assimilated with adequate training and a proven training.

Why are training courses important?

Economic development will require the construction of new infrastructures and skilled labor will be a critical resource for the recovery and growth of our sector.

What must therefore be the goal of a valid training project?

  • Insert highly motivated young people in the construction sector;
  • Train young talent and not burden company costs;
  • Provide companies with young people who have the fundamental theoretical – practical notions necessary to be operational on site right away.

What are the benefits?

For workers: acquiring the basic skills useful to be  hired by one of the sponsoring companies.

For the company: workers trained by sector specialists and the reduction of training costs. Training is a type of “intangible” investment, which must give value to people so that a trained person, that is, prepared, is the best that an organization can have.

Who’s geoJOB?

Posted on by Vittorio Borgo

“It is full of employment agencies. Nevertheless there was a need for geoJob.”

geoJob is the first employment agency specialized exclusively in the infrastructure and construction sector.

workers usually make the difference between a construction site that works at a loss and another with large profits.
The idea of ​​GeoJOB Recruitment was born while Vittorio M. Borgo was Personnel Manager of a leader international group in the construction sector.

“Our problem was to find the right person, in the right place and at the right time”

Finding qualified personnel is difficult. Finding the right geo-localized people near construction sites is impossible if you don’t spend years and years creating a database.

We felt the need for this. We felt we needed to tap into a large database of professionals. Possibly this database had to tell us the candidate’s data, his specialization, the employment status and the place of residence.

Today geoJOB has this database. It has more than 10,000 profiles of workers in the construction, plant engineering.

We have in-house executives, office workers and workers throughout Italy and many countries in Europe.

Your perfect friend.

Do you know when you are about to leave on vacation in a place you’ve never visited and you are looking for a friend who lives there to get first-hand news?
You may find the same information on Google yourself but you don’t trust it. That’s because the opinion of a trusted friend is what you need.

GeoJOB Recruitment wants to be that trusted “Friend”; it wants to be able to advise you on the right candidates throughout Italy and throughout Europe without missing a beat.

Finding the right candidate and finding them in the area where you need them is geoJOB’s first priority.
Also, workers sometimes feel the need to change. Unfortunately life-long work no longer exists.

Workers need to be accompanied from one site to another and we take care of maintaining order between the requests of both companies and workers.
GeoJOB is a specialized mediator who speaks your own language.

Specializations. Nothing is left to chance.

The world of specializations that make up the building and construction sector is wide. It starts from technical personnel to highly specialized personnel who will have to use very expensive machines and machinery. These workers need to have a very high degree of specialization, with the right skills and above all that they must possession of the certificates and licenses as required by law.

As we speak the same company language, we are able to choose the optimal staff and, above all, we are able to keep track of the feedback from the companies that gradually take on our contacts. In fact, during our interview with the candidates we investigate the presence of the relevant updated and valid related certificates. (If you are reading this post before applying, know that the selection is strict and very demanding).

How personnel selection works. 

First of all, we start by analyzing the company needs and what it is looking for.

Then, we work as talent researchers thanks to our contacts and our social networks.

Trovare dipendenti e lavoro edilizia

We are making ourselves known through channels, fairs, publications in newspapers and announcements. Consequently, the sector operators, recognizing the verticality of our service, subscribe to our portal leaving a detailed description of skills, attitudes, residence and experiences.

Subscribing candidates are the ones who want to improve their current job position, who is about to finish a construction site, who is already home and strongly wishes to start a new job experience.

In this way the geoJOB database grows more and more, day by day.

At this point the system works on two levels: by geolocating the members in Italy and abroad and by searching for new members to be analyzed and profiled.

IMPORTANT! 

We at GeoJOB are committed to respecting workers, in fact all the job searches on our site at the link: https://www.geojob.it/offerte-di-lavoro/ are real and verifiable.

We don’t post fake ads just to collect candidates.

Once we are able to process the request, selection and offer we will be satisfied and our candidates will be too as they will know that geoJOB will always be at their disposal should they need to look for a job.

How much time does a company waste to find and select qualified personnel for the construction sector?

In this sector, there is no “good selection” but it is important to understand that often the recruitment process is neither easy nor immediate, both for the effort in intercepting such qualified personnel, and for the difficult recognition of real skills of candidates.

For this reason, continuous feedback with the company is important.

These are ambitious projects that focus on the future but we at geoJOB are proud of the achievements and this is the direction that our research and development offices are pursuing.
