Jim Johnson kept seeing construction businesses stuck at $1M revenue because they couldn't hire fast enough. He built Contractor Staffing Source to call applicants within minutes instead of days, solving the bottleneck that was keeping his clients from scaling to $10M.
Really got it started. What started was I've been coaching a long time and I could get my clients from million to 10 million. I probably did it 100 times or way more. But they couldn't find their employees because it just was, you know, they didn't know how to do it. I said, how hard can it be to find employees? I mean, how tough is that? So what I did was I went out and got some really good applicant tracking system, which is a thingy software you need and I found some good recruiting software in the way of assessments and that kind of thing. Well, my first choice was give it to my clients and they totally screwed it up. It's like the no time for. You mean a contractor that didn't go out and execute? So what happens? I gave them all this stuff and they would, you know, put an ad in and call somebody a week later. Right. You need to call people in minutes, not days. Right. So I started contractor staffing source and that was three, four years.
