Discover construction workforce challenges, recruiting, talent retention, mentorship, and how culture impacts employee engagement in AEC firms.We know the construction industry has a changing workforce.But are the ways we recruit, hire, and develop people changing with it?In this episode of Activating Curiosity™, Ryan Ware sits down with Bryce Batts, Co-Founder of Career Collective and a recruiter with 20 years of experience in the AEC industry, to explore a different question:Can construction really hire its way through a changing workforce?Bryce has watched the AEC recruiting and talent landscape shift dramatically over the past two decades. The 2008 recession helped create a “missing middle” of experienced professionals, the balance between employers and candidates has changed, and today great candidates may be available for only days.But finding people is only one part of the challenge.Ryan and Bryce explore why architects and engineers leave firms, how culture and career development affect employee retention, and what happens when companies approach staffing as a reaction to project needs instead of a long-term business strategy.They also dig into onboarding, mentorship, the expectation that new hires should “hit the ground running,” and how AI is changing recruiting for employers and job seekers alike.As more of the hiring process becomes automated, the conversation comes back to something distinctly human: creating workplaces where people can grow, contribute, ask questions, and see a future for themselves.The workforce is changing. The question is whether construction leaders are willing to get curious about why people join, why they stay, and why they leave.What You'll Learn How the AEC recruiting market has changed over the past 20 years Why great candidates can disappear from the market quickly How the 2008 recession contributed to today's missing middle Why reactive staffing can keep firms stuck in a cycle of filling holes Why culture and career growth influence whether people stay or leave What firms get wrong when they expect new hires to “hit the ground running” How onboarding and mentorship affect employee success and retention How AI is changing recruiting, resumes, sourcing, and candidate screening Why human connection may become more valuable as hiring becomes more automated What AEC firms can do to become places the next generation wants to join Who This Episode Is ForArchitecture, engineering, and construction leaders, firm owners, HR and talent acquisition professionals, recruiters, operations leaders, project managers, emerging professionals, and AEC professionals interested in recruiting, employee retention, career development, workplace culture, AI, leadership, and the future of the AEC workforce.Chapters00:00 – Why AEC Firms Struggle to Stand Out01:07 – The Human Side of Staffing and Recruiting05:44 – How AEC Recruiting Has Changed09:41 – When Employers Stopped Holding All the Cards11:55 – Great Candidates May Be Gone in 10 Days12:32 – How 2008 Helped Create the Missing Middle13:30 – Stop Staffing Projects and Start Thinking Strategically16:25 – Why People Leave: It's Not Just About Compensation17:30 – Your Firm Sounds Like Everyone Else22:17 – From Filling Positions to Building Careers24:18 – The Problem With “Hit the Ground Running”28:51 – How AI Is Changing Recruiting37:17 – Why Human Connection Still Matters44:08 – Building an Industry People Want to JoinGuestBryce Batts is the Co-Founder of Career Collective, a business consultant, speaker, bestselling author, podcast host, Certified Career Coach, and recruiter with 20 years of experience in the AEC industry.Throughout her career, Bryce has placed more than 800 professionals while helping organizations rethink how they attract and retain talent.
