That's really interesting. I've heard about this DC area before, and I know it's extremely tough to find people there.
I'm in Vancouver, Canada, and there is definitely a shortage of electricians here, for sure. My one main tip I would give you is to network your way to finding these electricians. That means talking to every single person you know and asking them if they know any other electricians, because those electricians are going to know other electricians. Essentially, you got to think that all of these guys already have jobs, so you're basically trying to move them from one situation to another.
And another question would be, is your situation better? Are you guys really organized? How is the culture? How is the training, the bonus plan, the benefits?I call it the cozy home. Why is your house more cozy than the other company?
Another thing is, you're going to have to home grow these electricians. Start them off as apprentices and grow them into really important roles at your company.
If you have this much growth, you'd probably Have to get involved with the local high schools in your area and technical colleges wherever these electricians are getting trained. I'm sure there's something that you can get involved with or somebody you can start networking with.
P.S. That's more money than I pay myself. L.O.L. Jeez, Canada sucks. Maybe I'll come work for you.
