Hiring top talent in today’s competitive labor market can feel like an uphill battle, especially in landscaping. That’s why our CEO, Jack, recently took the stage at the NCNLA Green & Growin’ conference in Greensboro, North Carolina, to present “The Landscape Owner’s Ultimate Guide to Recruiting A-Players.” In his talk, Jack shared practical, proven strategies for attracting, hiring, and retaining top-tier team members. If you couldn’t attend, don’t worry — we’re breaking down some of the most actionable takeaways here to help you give your recruiting efforts a much-needed spring refresh. 1. Define your Hell Yes Employee. The first step to hiring better is knowing exactly whom you’re looking for. Are you looking for someone team-oriented, eager to learn, or with leadership potential? Write it down and tailor your job postings to reflect those qualities. The clearer you are about
what you want, the more likely you are to attract candidates who fit your culture.
2. Highlight what makes you different. Let’s face it: Most landscaping job ads are painfully generic. Phrases like “competitive wages” and “must lift 50 pounds” won’t make your company stand out. Instead, focus on what sets you apart. List specific benefits like paid time off, 401(k) matching, or even small perks like team-building events or Friday lunches. 3. Use employer branding to shine. Your website isn’t just for potential clients; it’s also a powerful recruiting tool. A well- designed “Careers” page can sell your company as a fantastic place to work. Employee testimonials — in English and Spanish — in both written and video formats, have proven to help attract Hell Yes Employees for both field staff and office positions. Outline clear career
