I am looking for ideas and advice. I am not a welder, but I own a sign shop and employ welders. COVID is raging, and i need to hire in Oceanside CA (just north of San Diego and during a "Shut Down")
The guy I need would (Ideally) have sign shop experience, with the ability to bend letters. The welding is nearly 100% mig Aluminum on tubular structures and 063, 1/8" and 3/16" sheets to make letters.
Why do I look? What forums, or job boards, or facebook groups or other places would a guy with these skills look? What do you think? Is this a hard job to fill?
Thanks
Frank
General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.
Indeed.com and linkedin seem to be popular sources these days. Maybe give those a look.
Also, I would recommend against putting too much emphasis on the person having sign shop experience. That's quite specific and may narrow down your applicant pool considerably. Maybe if it was a sales position, but really any competent fabricator, especially one with sheet metal experience, should be a good asset for a sign shop. Just my opinion.
