Hahaha, I did use a little ChatGPT to help me write this ad ngl. We are a real tree service though and i'm just a tree guy who works for Craig's Tree Service full time doing my best to try and help Craig find some suitable candidates as we are in fact in need of another experienced tree climber. Had a half day of work today because of lightning/rain (which we desperately needed because we are in WNC and have had lots of wildfires in the area), so since i had a little extra time, did some research and found treebuzz and figured i'd expand our climber search.

If you take a few more minutes to read through the last handful of posts, you might pick up on a few more details that could help your search overall.

I can assure you these guys are the real deal. Great people, equipment, and work. I’m sure

Thanks for vouching for us as well as the kind words, we appreciate it! And we will indeed be at Arborfest this Friday. By the way, Austin says hey!

You gotta talk up the blue ridge mountains! How fun and beautiful it is to live here. The biodiversity! The magnificent landscape (even in its Helene recovery!)

Stuff like that made an impression on me on a post 9 years ago and it’s partly why I decided to move to Asheville

Glad you found Tree Buzz...stick around for more than recruiting - lots of folks I've learned a lot from here and would be great to have your input - every community can use more knowledge and experience contributing!

Good luck filling the position. Agree with @Stumpsprouts - you are in a beautiful area, make that a selling point! People will relocate to live there.

100% would have moved there for this job two years ago when I was trying to find a situation in the Blue Ridge, specifically because it is suuuuuch an awesome place IME.
