MARK ZWEIG, from page 1
Some of them have architects and engineers working for them in roles where they interface with people in firms like yours. The HVAC and electrical equipment manufacturers in particular often have very smart and capable people on their payrolls – with relevant experience that could benefit your firm. Finally, get your best people out there teaching at local colleges and universities. As a professor myself, I speak from experience that teaching really provides a great opportunity to see what people are all about. You can learn a lot about your students over the course of a semester. How well they work in groups, whether or not they can write, how prepared they are for class, and what kinds of questions they ask. All good input for whether or not you might want to hire them. Even better is a real co-op or internship program. “Try before you buy” really works! Recruiting has to be something you do, 24-7. That is, IF you really care about the quality of your team.
