While many construction software provides comprehensive workforce management solutions, recruiting and [hiring skilled workers](https://blog.hiringthing.com/road-ahead-for-recruitment) (which plays into the retention of those workers, which affects productivity) should be more prioritized. This oversight poses a significant challenge since the construction industry—the customer base construction serves—is hindered by skilled [labor shortages](https://blog.hiringthing.com/history-how-labor-market-reacts-interest-rate-cuts).  In this article, we’ll explore the following: - [Construction Labor Shortages ](https://blog.hiringthing.com/full-construction-workforce-management-saas-needs-hiring#Construction-is-Experiencing-Labor-Shortages) - [Why Full Workforce Management is Necessary for Contech Customers ](https://blog.hiringthing.com/full-construction-workforce-management-saas-needs-hiring#The-Need-for-Workforce-Management-Solutions) - [How Embedded Hiring Solutions Benefit Construction SaaS ](https://blog.hiringthing.com/full-construction-workforce-management-saas-needs-hiring#How-Embedded-Hiring-Benefits-Construction-SaaS) ## Construction is Experiencing a Labor Shortage  While it’s been exacerbated by recent work shifts, the construction industry has long been grappling with labor shortages. A study by the Associated General Contractors of America (ACC) found that [80% of construction firms](https://www.agc.org/news/2018/08/29/eighty-percent-contractors-report-difficulty-finding-qualified-craft-workers-hire) reported difficulties in filing hourly positions, and a survey by the National Association of Home Builders found that labor and material costs are the top challenges for builders. This shortage severely impacts project timelines, costs, and [overall productivity](https://www.unearthlabs.com/blogs/construction-productivity-crisis). Project timelines, costs, and overall productivity are all affected by the skill level of staff, and recruiting is the first step in ensuring the staff you hire is skilled, trainable, and will stick with their employment. You're missing a crucial first step if you’re just managing the workforce once they’re hired. This fragmented approach consumes valuable time and resources and hampers overall efficiency.  Check out [Construction Hiring Challenges and How to Solve Them](https://blog.hiringthing.com/construction-hiring-challenges-solutions) for insights on how construction can assuage labor challenges.  [Back to Top](https://blog.hiringthing.com/full-construction-workforce-management-saas-needs-hiring#Top-of-Page) ## The Need for Workforce Management Solutions   To bridge the gap between construction technology and the labor shortage, SaaS companies must recognize the importance of providing [*complete* integrated workforce management tools.](https://blog.hiringthing.com/the-silent-deal-killer-in-construction-saas) By incorporating comprehensive recruiting and hiring capabilities into their platforms, these companies can offer end-to-end solutions that address the entire labor management lifecycle.  [Embeddable hiring](https://www.hiringthing.com/private-label/construction/?utm_source=blog&utm_title=full-construction-workforce-management-saas-requires-hiring&utm_anchor_text=embeddable-hiring) allows construction tech to seamlessly transition to identifying labor needs, sourcing qualified candidates, making data-driven hiring decisions, and efficiently getting the new hires started. ## How Embedded Hiring Helps End-Users - [Time and Cost Savings](https://blog.hiringthing.com/full-construction-workforce-management-saas-needs-hiring#Time-Costs-and-Savings) - [Improved Talent Acquisition ](https://blog.hiringthing.com/full-construction-workforce-management-saas-needs-hiring#Improved-Talent-Acquisition) ### Time Costs and Savings  Recruiting costs businesses valuable time and money. It costs the average U.S. employer [$4,000 and 24 days](https://www.glassdoor.com/employers/blog/calculate-cost-per-hire/) to find and hire new talent (not considering onboarding cost and time).   The cost to replace employees can range from one-half [to two times](https://www.gallup.com/workplace/247391/fixable-problem-costs-businesses-trillion.aspx) [t](https://www.gallup.com/workplace/247391/fixable-problem-costs-businesses-trillion.aspx)heir annual salary, and staff turnover costs U.S. businesses [trillions of dollars](https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/jolts.pdf) annually.  It costs businesses approximately 90 dollars a day when entry-level positions remain vacant. When those positions sit vacant, other staff has to pick up the slack, working overtime to make up the difference ([productivity drops drastically at 50 hours of work a week](https://www.cnbc.com/2015/01/26/working-more-than-50-hours-makes-you-less-productive.html)).  [Embedded hiring](https://blog.hiringthing.com/embedded-hiring-is-the-next-embedded-fintech) solutions help save businesses time and money on hiring and eliminate the need for manual data entry, redundant processes, and multiple software platforms, reducing administrative burdens and increasing operational efficiency. Time-consuming tasks such as posting job listings, screening applicants, and managing interview schedules can be automated, saving additional time and costs associated with the recruitment process.  Companies that successfully utilize an applicant tracking system (ATS)—hiring software built to optimize and streamline recruiting—save up to 20% of their time on the hiring process. [86.1% of ATS users](https://www.getapp.com/resources/recruitment-strategies-report-2017/) report that using an ATS has increased the speed at which they hire.  ### Improved Talent Acquisition  With embedded hiring, construction companies can provide tools for target job postings, applicant tracking, and robust candidate evaluation. Advanced features like resume parsing, scorecards, and [pre-employment assessments](https://blog.hiringthing.com/pre-employment-testing-benefits) enable construction firms to identify the best-fit candidates quickly. This streamlined process ensures the acquisition of skilled workers who align with project requirements and company culture.  [Hiring solutions](https://blog.hiringthing.com/your-construction-hr-software-is-missing-a-critical-integration) widen a company's talent pool and pipeline by widening their job distribution pool (utilizing job boards, social media advertising, and remote interview capabilities).  [78% of hiring managers](https://www.getapp.com/resources/recruitment-strategies-report-2017/) say an ATS has improved the quality of their hires.

Vendors can provide additional value-added services such as job board integrations, video interviews, and premium recruitment features by offering enhanced recruiting and hiring capabilities. These offerings can be monetized, contributing to overall revenue growth for construction SaaS.  ### Market Differentiation Construction software that provides comprehensive workforce management solutions, including robust hiring capabilities, can differentiate themselves from their competitors in a competitive landscape. By offering a holistic platform that addresses the entire labor management lifecycle, construction tech can position themselves as industry leaders, attracting more clients and driving business growth.  ### Expanded Customer Base Construction SaaS can appeal to a broader customer base by incorporating hiring solutions into their platforms. Construction firms seeking [all-in-one solutions](https://blog.hiringthing.com/todays-users-want-you-to-provide-an-all-in-one-hr-solution) that streamline their operations and alleviate labor management challenges will be more inclined to choose vendors who provide comprehensive tools, including recruitment and hiring functionalities. Multiproduct is the big SaaS buzzword of the moment and for good reason. SaaS vendors that offer more than one solution to their customers are more competitive, generate more revenue, have larger customer bases, and grow to be industry leaders, like construction SaaS giant ProCore. Check out Why All SaaS Companies Should Aspire to Be Multiproduct for more.   ### Increased Customer Retention  Construction projects are complex, often spanning multiple phases and requiring ongoing workforce management. By providing integrated hiring solutions, construction SaaS can deepen their relationship with customers, helping them with one of their most significant challenges and becoming an indispensable partner throughout the entire project lifecycle. This increased value proposition improves customer satisfaction and boosts long-term retention.  [Back to Top ](https://blog.hiringthing.com/full-construction-workforce-management-saas-needs-hiring#Top-of-Page) ## Embedded Hiring Gives Construction SaaS a Significant Advantage  Construction SaaS has significantly improved construction processes and management through SaaS solutions. However, neglecting recruiting and hiring capabilities within workforce management is an oversight.  To address the labor shortage and honestly claim a full workforce management solution, construction software companies should prioritize embedding comprehensive recruiting and hiring functionalities HiringThing is the creator of embeddable hiring solutions that SaaS companies use to offer proprietary recruiting solutions to their clients.
