Shownotes

Most landscaping companies only hire “experienced landscapers”, and that’s why most companies stay average.

In this episode, Shay explains why Landscaping Unlimited intentionally recruits people from retail, trades, military, athletics, and service industries, and why they often outperform applicants with years of landscaping background.

You’ll learn:

  • The character traits that matter more than experience
  • Why good workers from other industries transition so well
  • What seasoned landscapers often struggle to unlearn
  • How to spot strong hires FAST during interviews
  • Why a willingness to learn beats years of bad habits

If you manage a crew or run a business, this is a must-listen.

Send this to someone thinking about applying to a landscaping company.
