A YouTube video by Phil Risher addressing the acute difficulty of finding and retaining trained technicians in the trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical). The speaker recounts personal recruiting efforts, frustration at turnover (one hire totaled a truck and lost the job within 30 days), and frames this problem as the motivation behind seeking an easier, less expensive hiring solution.
It's hard to find trained technicians, especially the higher level trained technicians. I'm shaking down the supply house guys. I'm, you know, I'm calling friends. I'm like, I know of a guy looking to make a move, and. And I'm not anything. We finally hire a guy, within 30 days, he had totaled the truck and lost his job. And, you know, you just kind of sit there beating your head against the wall. You're like, this is ridiculous. What am I doing? You know, why is there not. Why is it not an E? Why is there not an easier way? And why is it so hard to do? And why is it so expensive? So that's kind of the brainchild behind it.
