Why December is the Perfect Time to Start Your Job Search

Why December is the Perfect Time to Start Your Job SearchDecember might be a month filled with festivities, family gatherings, and end-of-year reflections, but it’s also an ideal time to take charge of your career. Contrary to popular belief, the holiday season offers some great opportunities for job seekers. Here’s why December should be on your radar if you’re looking for a new role in construction or any other industry.

Less Competition

A lot of people put their job searches on hold during December, assuming employers aren’t hiring. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Employers still need to fill positions, especially as they plan for the new year. With fewer candidates actively applying, your chances of standing out improve massively.

End-of-Year Budgets

Many companies have budgets they need to use up before the year ends, including hiring budgets. This often leads to a surge in job postings as businesses aim to fill roles before January. Being proactive in December could land you a role that perfectly fits your career goals.

Networking Opportunities

The holiday season is full of social events and gatherings, making it a great time to network. Whether it’s a work function, industry event, or even a chat at a Christmas party, these moments can lead to new opportunities. People are often in a more relaxed and generous mood in December, which makes it easier to connect and ask for advice or referrals.

Getting Ahead for the New Year

Employers want to start the new year on a strong footing, so they’re keen to onboard candidates who can hit the ground running in January. Applying in December gives you a head start while others wait until January to begin their search.

Showing Your Commitment

Actively job hunting in December shows that you’re dedicated and motivated. Employers notice candidates who are willing to go the extra mile, even during the holiday season. It creates a positive impression and highlights your enthusiasm for the role.

More Focused Hiring Processes

While some managers might take time off over Christmas, many companies use this quieter period to concentrate on hiring. With fewer distractions, recruiters and hiring managers can take more time reviewing applications and conducting interviews. This means you’re likely to get more attention.

Temporary and Contract Roles

In the construction industry, December often brings an increase in temporary and contract roles. Companies want to finish projects before year-end or prepare for upcoming ones. These roles can be a fantastic way to get your foot in the door, prove your skills, and potentially secure a permanent position.

Luke - Mechanical & Electrical Division, FBR Recruitment.

Spotlight on Luke Wing: Expertise in FBR’s Mechanical & Electrical Sector This month, we shone a spotlight on our Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) consultant, Luke Wing, and the incredible work he does in this vital sector of construction.

Meet Luke Wing

Luke brings a wealth of experience to FBR, with 15 years in recruitment and hands-on mechanical expertise across commercial and residential projects. As the driving force behind FBR’s Mechanical & Electrical division, Luke connects skilled candidates with some of the UK’s most significant projects.

We kicked off the month with an introduction to Luke, highlighting his journey, expertise, and the type of content we’d share throughout the focus month. From on-site candidate recognition to showcasing industry achievements, we aimed to demonstrate the vital role Luke and the M&E sector play in the construction world.

Recognising Excellence

One of the standout moments was Luke’s visit to one of his operatives on-site to present a recognition award. This operative received glowing feedback from the client:

I contacted Luke to highlight an exemplary performance by a particular operative on my site. He goes above and beyond daily, using his own initiative and communicating effectively with colleagues and senior management. He is fully committed to health and safety on site. I am aware he has worked on other sites, covering days, nights, and weekends when required. This sentiment could be echoed by a number of MEP trades on site from Luke, which is a credit to him and the FBR business. Luke is our first call for all future labour requirements.

This moment truly captured the essence of Luke’s dedication to placing top talent and supporting both clients and candidates.

The Haunted Hiring Process: Don’t Let Ghosting Haunt Your Recruitment Efforts!

Ah, Halloween – the time for all things spooky. But while we can handle skeletons, witches, and the odd pumpkin spice obsession, there’s one thing that truly sends a chill down our spines in the recruitment world: ghosting.

No, we’re not talking about actual ghosts (though, with some of the spooky construction sites we’ve heard about, we wouldn’t be surprised). We’re talking about recruitment ghosting—that dreaded moment when a candidate vanishes into thin air, or even worse, when a recruiter or client drops off the face of the Earth, leaving a hopeful job seeker in limbo.

At FBR Recruitment, we believe ghosting belongs in haunted houses, not in recruitment. So, let’s take a look at the horrors of ghosting and, more importantly, why you’ll never get spooked by us.

The Phantom Candidate

Picture this: You’ve got a brilliant candidate lined up. They’ve interviewed, they’re perfect for the job, and then… poof! No calls, no emails—nothing but the sound of crickets.
Sure, life happens—things change, and sometimes a role isn’t right for someone. But disappearing without a word? Now that’s just scary.

Ghosted by Clients

Let’s not forget the other side of the coin: when candidates get ghosted by clients. You’ve had a great interview, and you’re eagerly awaiting feedback. Days turn into weeks, and you start to feel like you’re chasing after a shadow. “Did they even receive my application? Am I still in the running? Is this how it ends?”
Cue the spooky music. Candidates might feel like they’re wandering through a fog, trying to figure out where things went wrong. But here’s the thing—it’s not you. At FBR, we make sure you’re never left in the dark. Whether it’s good news or not, you’ll always hear from us. No one likes a cliffhanger, especially when it comes to their career.

The Spooky Disappearing Offer

Imagine this—you’ve gone through multiple rounds of interviews, received a verbal offer, and you’re on cloud nine. Then suddenly… silence. No formal offer letter, no follow-up calls, just radio silence. Days turn into weeks, and the excitement you once felt slowly turns to confusion and doubt. What happened to the job? Did it disappear like a puff of smoke?
This kind of ghosting is particularly frustrating for candidates who’ve emotionally committed to a role, even started making life changes in preparation for the new job. While we can’t always control what happens on the client side, at FBR we believe in keeping candidates informed. If there’s a change in the process or the position gets pulled, you’ll hear from us. And if things don’t go as planned, we’ll support you as much as possible to find something else that’s a great fit. We won’t leave you in the dark wondering what went wrong.

The Gory Details: Why Recruiters Should Never Ghost

Recruitment is about building relationships, and ghosting destroys trust. Imagine applying for a job, getting your hopes up, and then… nothing. It’s frustrating, it’s unprofessional, and frankly, it’s something we think should be buried six feet under.
At FBR, we pride ourselves on staying in touch—whether it’s good news, bad news, or just an update. We won’t leave you hanging in a creepy corridor wondering what went wrong. Transparency and communication are the anti-ghosting spells we cast every day.

How We Keep the Ghosts Away

We believe in keeping the process as human as possible, here’s how we do it:

  1. Communication at Every Step – Whether you’re a candidate or a client, we’ll always keep you in the loop. Waiting to hear back? We’ll let you know where things stand, even if it’s “no news yet.”
  2. Real Feedback – We know feedback is crucial, even when it’s constructive. We’re not afraid to have those conversations that some might shy away from.
  3. No Vanishing Acts – If you’ve applied through us, you’ll always get a response. Even if the fit isn’t right, we’ll let you know and keep you in mind for future roles.

Final Thoughts: No Ghosts Here

So, as the nights get darker and Halloween approaches, remember: FBR Recruitment is here to guide you through the process, no tricks, just treats. Ghosting might be good for a scary movie, but it has no place in the world of construction recruitment.

Happy Halloween from all of us at FBR Recruitment.

The Role of Robotics in Modern Construction: Pros & Cons for Construction Workers

The Role of Robotics in Modern Construction: Pros & Cons for Construction WorkersThe construction industry is undergoing a transformative shift with the integration of robotics, a development that’s poised to revolutionize how projects are executed. From enhancing efficiency to reshaping job roles, the impact of robotics in construction is profound and multifaceted. In this blog post, well delve into how robotics is being incorporated into construction sites and the significant changes it brings to the industry and its workers.

The Emergence of Robotics in Construction

Robotics technology has made substantial inroads into various industries, and construction is no exception. The adoption of robotics in construction is driven by the need to improve productivity, enhance safety, and address labour shortages. These robotic systems range from autonomous machinery for heavy lifting to precision robots for intricate tasks, all contributing to a more efficient construction process.

Types of Robotics in Construction

  1. Autonomous Heavy Equipment
    Bulldozers and Excavators: Bulldozers and Excavators: Autonomous bulldozers and excavators are equipped with GPS, sensors, and AI to perform tasks such as digging and grading with minimal human intervention. These machines can work tirelessly and with high precision, reducing the time and cost associated with manual operation.
  2. Drones
    Surveying and Inspection: Drones are increasingly used for surveying large construction sites, capturing aerial images, and creating detailed 3D maps. They are also essential for inspecting hard-to-reach areas, ensuring safety and reducing the need for manual inspections.
  3. Bricklaying Robots
    SAM (Semi-Automated Mason): SAM can lay bricks at a much faster rate than human workers. It can handle repetitive tasks with high accuracy, allowing human workers to focus on more complex aspects of construction.
  4. Concrete Robots
    3D Concrete Printing: These robots can print entire structures layer by layer, offering unparalleled design flexibility and reducing material waste. This technology is especially useful for creating complex shapes and bespoke designs that would be challenging to achieve with traditional methods.
  5. Robotic Arms
    Precision Tasks: Robotic arms are employed for tasks requiring high precision, such as welding, painting, and assembly. They ensure consistency and quality, reducing errors and rework.

Pros for Construction Workers

The integration of robotics in construction is enhancing job opportunities for construction workers, reshaping roles, and creating new career paths while transforming traditional tasks.

  1. Enhanced Safety and Efficiency
    Robots can take over dangerous and physically demanding tasks, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and injuries on construction sites. This shift not only enhances worker safety but also improves overall site efficiency.
  2. Skill Development
    As robots take on more routine tasks, construction workers are required to develop new skills to operate, program, and maintain these advanced machines. This shift is fostering a new breed of construction professionals who are adept at both manual and technological aspects of the job.
  3. Job Creation
    Contrary to the fear that robots might replace human jobs, the rise of robotics is creating new employment opportunities. There is a growing demand for technicians, programmers, and engineers who specialize in robotics and automation technologies.
  4. Collaborative Work Environment
    Robots are being designed to work alongside human workers, enhancing productivity through collaboration. This human-robot partnership is enabling construction teams to complete projects faster and with greater accuracy.

Efficiency Gains

The introduction of robotics in construction is driving efficiency gains that are transforming project timelines and costs. Here are some key benefits:

  1. Increased Productivity
    Robots can operate continuously without fatigue, significantly increasing the speed of construction activities. This continuous operation is especially beneficial for projects with tight deadlines.
  2. Precision and Quality
    Robots perform tasks with a high degree of accuracy, ensuring consistency and reducing the likelihood of errors. This precision leads to higher quality construction and less rework.
  3. Cost Savings
    By automating repetitive and labour-intensive tasks, robots help reduce labour costs and material waste. These savings can be reinvested into other aspects of the project, enhancing overall project value.
  4. Scalability
    Robotic systems can be easily scaled up or down to meet the demands of different project sizes. This flexibility allows construction firms to efficiently manage resources and adapt to changing project requirements.

Cons for Construction Workers

  1. Job Displacement Concerns
    Fear of Automation: One of the primary concerns is the potential loss of jobs due to automation. Workers may worry that robots will replace them, leading to job insecurity.
    Skill Gaps: Workers who do not have the opportunity to upskill or adapt to new technologies may find themselves at a disadvantage, facing challenges in securing employment.
  2. Training Adaptation
    Learning Curve: Adapting to new robotic technologies requires training and education, which can be time-consuming and demanding, especially for workers who are less familiar with digital tools.
    Initial Investment: Employers may need to invest in training programs, and workers might need to spend time away from their regular duties to attend these training sessions.
  3. Human Robot Interaction
    Collaboration Challenges: Integrating robots into the workforce requires effective collaboration between human workers and machines. Miscommunication or lack of coordination can lead to inefficiencies or safety issues.
    Dependence on Technology: Over-reliance on robotics could lead to potential issues if the technology fails or malfunctions, requiring workers to step in and manage situations without robotic assistance.
  4. Changing Work Dynamics
    Shift in Job Nature: The nature of construction work is changing, with more emphasis on technology and less on traditional manual labour. This shift may not appeal to all workers, particularly those who prefer hands-on construction tasks.
    Impact on Wages: While some workers may see wage increases due to higher skill requirements, others might face wage stagnation or reduction if their roles become less essential or if there is a surplus of workers with traditional skills.

Conclusion

The future of robotics in construction looks promising, with continuous advancements in technology paving the way for even more innovative applications. From fully automated construction sites to smart cities built with robotic precision, the possibilities are endless. As robotics technology evolves, it will continue to enhance the construction industry’s efficiency, safety, and quality, making it an integral part of modern construction practices.

By automating repetitive tasks, improving safety, and increasing efficiency, robotics is setting new standards for construction practices. As the industry continues to embrace these technological advancements, the future of construction looks brighter, more innovative, and remarkably efficient. Embracing robotics today means building a stronger, smarter, and safer tomorrow.
