Finding quality electricians

[kodycorduan]

Good morning and happy Monday. I own Perdido Electrical Services in the Pensacola area (Florida panhandle).
We have tried the usual sites (ziprecruiter, indeed etc) to find electricians with very little luck. Wondering if anyone has recommendations for where to find good help - even a national database for electricians wanting to relocate.
I appreciate any and all thoughts.

I was told I have to scalp them from competition since there are non out there. I hate to do that and have not done that yet.

Yes, in many areas they are tough to find...there are union projects not far from me that are offering $3 to $5 over scale to help get electricians.

Yeah it is always tempting, but I'd hoped to avoid that

The hurricane repairs are only going to make it worse.

We have had trouble getting salesmen as long as I have been here. I generally suggest they head on down to the rescue mission and see what is available.

We’re did everyone go. Before Covid I got calls atleast once a month now no one’s asking
