Episode 33: The Missing Piece: Rethinking How We Recruit Women
In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to attract and support female service experts in the trades. It’s not just about posting a job ad—it’s about being intentional with your culture, your language, and the way you show up. We share what worked, what we’d do differently, and the small details that make a big impact, like flexible schedules, proper uniforms, and creating an environment where everyone feels like they belong.
We get into real stories from the field—how small adjustments made a big difference, how support for single parents matters, and why visibility, representation, and inclusion have to be part of your day-to-day, not just your hiring plan. This isn’t about checking a box—it’s about building a team that reflects your values and welcomes a wider range of talent.
If you're looking to grow your team, bring in more women, or just do better by the people who work with you—this one’s for you.
