Mission Moment Series: A Will to Win in Construction Staffing
At NCW, we believe in creating long-term partnerships and providing opportunities that can improve people’s careers. As a leader in construction staffing, we are committed to helping skilled tradespeople and professionals advance in their careers. Sometimes, those efforts come full circle in the most meaningful ways.
Recruiter, Katie Turner, recently shared a powerful story that embodies one of our core values of a will to win, and the impact we strive to make every day in construction staffing.
A Full Circle Moment in Construction Staffing
“I’ve been working with this candidate for like two years on and off,” Katie recalls. “On our very first call, I was giving him the normal spiel of what NCW was about, and he was like, ‘Oh, I already know NCW.’”
Curious, Katie asked how he knew about us. His response? A true testament to the power of mentorship and opportunity through construction staffing.
“Well, back in like 2015/2016, NCW recruiter George Harper actually placed me as a carpenter and made me the man that I am today,” he explained. “He was on me a lot about getting to work on time and stuff like that.”
The candidate had faced two years of job uncertainty, but Katie remained committed to helping him find the right fit through NCW’s construction staffing expertise. Finally, an opportunity emerged.
“It was two years of having no jobs for this candidate, and then finally on Monday, fingers crossed, he is supposed to show up to a job site as a Superintendent for me,” Katie shared.
This moment is more than just a job placement—it’s a testament to the long-term impact NCW has on careers and lives through our construction staffing efforts. From starting as a carpenter to stepping into a superintendent role, this candidate’s journey showcases the importance of persistence, mentorship, and the values we hold close.
“It was a really cool story…a very cool full-circle moment.”
The Lasting Impact of Mentorship and Opportunity
At NCW, we do more than just place candidates in jobs—we have an unwavering commitment to helping shape careers and building futures through construction staffing. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do and why our work in construction staffing is so impactful for both individuals and the industry as a whole.
