Actually, drivers aren't my problem. The driver situation has eased although it was dicey for a while. It's office people, and not just entry level.

That's great to hear on the driver side for you. My friend is struggling. He had 9 quit within 2 weeks and he's getting applications in but he said the new people just don't produce off the cuff like the experienced guys. He said it takes about 6 weeks for them to get acclimated and their production to meet the more experienced guys. He said a lot of it is signing bonus offers that guys leave, stay that time and then want to come back or are on to the next company offering a signing bonus.

With those openings there are opportunities, but some of them are not good at all. Lots of agencies looking to fill positions but looking to replace 2 or 3 people for the salary of one entry level person. That won't attract anyone with prices of everything going up.

I recently reviewed a position for a client I used to work with. They want to hire an IT manager of 12 schools, who can also do network stuff, helpdesk role, and web development for $60-80k.

Some markets are flooded with candidates, others you will struggle to find someone. A lot of it has to do with education and the mess that has been created telling everyone they need to go to college and steering people away from trades. I have a friend that drives a dump truck locally for a town municipality. He makes more than some of the people in my dept with degrees.
So true.
Our local construction association published the declining numbers in our province, and stated there were over 3k vacancies then with a close to 6k vacancies expected by 2025, in skilled trades.

I work in the service sector of the industry and am part of a team involved with recruitment, and we can’t get anyone. That’s with everyone making 6 figures to start, full med/dental, a pension/RRSp, and company truck you take home with all costs covered, and 40 hr weeks.

Schools don’t advertise trades like they used too.

Wish I could clone myself. I have been searching for a few mechanics and office positions for a year and am getting more and more disappointed with what I see. I feel like people don't want to work anymore. Even when you offer a better salary than the average in this area. They prefer to get a more relaxed work position where they won't sweat. And in general, many of the candidates are negligent. Doing training every few months is time consuming. At least we get better at it. Thankfully, we have people who tick all the boxes and make sure to keep them happy, but finding new is hard.

It's not about the schools advertising trades training. It's society as a whole. Look at how many of these talking heads that say you're only going to be worth something if you have some piece of paper in a mahogany frame hanging on the wall. Doesn't matter if it's some useless degree. The fact it's from a college/university somehow means you're worth more than someone that has a skilled trade.
