How to Attract Reliable Staff in a Labor Shortage
Hiring for trades positions in 2025 sucks. Getting good people to agree to—and show up to—an interview suddenly seems impossible. Thankfully, Breakthrough Academy co-founder Danny is on the show to break down his tried and tested hiring system.

Getting good people to agree to—and show up to—an interview suddenly seems impossible.
You book five interviews and three no-show, one thinks they’re applying to be CEO and the other shows up drunk.

We decided to release it on the podcast as a BONUS episode so more contractors can benefit.
Enjoy.
