How to Build a Pipeline of Workers Before You Need Them

The best time to recruit is before you're desperate. But most companies wait until the pressure's on. That’s when jobs go unfilled, standards drop, and the wrong people end up on-site.

If you want reliable workers ready to go when the work kicks off, you need a pipeline, not just a job ad.

Here’s how DGR does it:

1. We keep warm lists.
   We maintain live databases of screened workers who match specific roles, locations, and site types. They may not be looking today, but they’ll take a call when the right job lands.
2. We understand patterns.
   We know when your peak hiring happens. If we’ve worked together before, we’re already gearing up in advance, checking availability, confirming certs, and making sure we’re ready.
3. We build speculative pools.
   We don’t wait for people to apply. We use targeted outreach to bring new workers into our network based on likely fit, even if there’s no live role.
4. We stay in touch.
   Our team checks in regularly with trusted workers so they’re ready to move when something better comes up.
5. We match by more than job title.
   It’s not just “who can do this role”,  it’s “who will stick with it, show up on time, and fit your site.”

A strong pipeline means faster fills, fewer headaches, and better people on your team. DGR can build it for you…and keep it full.
