Let's take a moment to talk about one of Virginia's largest construction companies, @thebranchgroup, and their remarkable commitment to attracting new, young, and top talent to the Roanoke Region.

The Branch Group consists of three business units, @branchbuilds , @branchcivil , and @gjhopkinslacy. These employers are setting a high standard when it comes to their approach to talent acquisition. Their dedication to sourcing the best minds in the industry is truly impressive and noteworthy to other companies looking to recruit employees. Here's just a few ways that make them stand out:

🔹Being proactive instead of reactive. Branch introduced a new employee referral program in 2022.
🔹Tapping into diverse & unexpected talent pools.
🔹Attracting more young talent by highlighting the livability of the region.
🔹Building strong relationships with local colleges and universities to keep recent graduates in the area.
🔹Tapping into the local high schools by creating student apprenticeship programs, career exploration days, and career fairs, especially with those interested in STEM careers.
🔹Using workforce development agencies to help with all types of challenges.

To read more about how @thebranchgroup is winning the recruitment and retention game, click the link in our bio and head to our blog post "One of Virginia's Largest Construction Companies Talks Talent Attraction"
