i would say it is going to effect us through labor! They get paid more to stay home! We typically get 8-10 applicants from the immigrant population a week when hiring.... nothing but crickets! Good luck!

We have had the same problem this year, it took two months of ads to find two qualified entry-level candidates, and we had fewer than two dozen applicants over that time with a couple thousand spent on a variety of ads.

well this is just odd - i've been running my company for 20 years and have never had absolute silence when looking to hire. still looking, if anyone is out there considering a change.
we need one ground person, preferably with some experience, and
we need one climber, a year of experience at least is required for this position.
call or email - we take good care of our team.

we found an (arborist) ground guy but are still looking for a climbing arborist. the crew you would join is 4 people, 3 of whom are ISA Certified Arborists, one TRAQ qualified and another taking the class in a few weeks on OOL's dime. this is a crew with a lot of skills, and a company that prizes professional advancement and education. give a shout if you're interested.
