After 20 years in the trades, here’s what I learned about hiring in 2026: employees aren’t looking for jobs anymore — they’re shopping for employers the same way they’d shop for a partner. And most owners are showing up to the date in flip-flops with no plan.
This 6-page guide breaks down exactly what they’re really looking for — and the small fixes that turn your business into the kind of place they’d actually pick.

Who it’s for:
Small business owners, especially in the trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, contracting, landscaping, restaurants, retail) who are done hearing “nobody wants to work anymore” and ready to ask the harder question: am I the kind of employer the people I want would actually choose?
🤔 Why is this free?
Because I’ve been on the other side. I bought the $5,000 courses. I sat through the “free webinars” that were really 90-minute pitches. I downloaded the lead magnets that funneled me into 47 follow-up emails.
So when we built One Percent, we made a different bet: prove the value first, ask for trust second, sell something only when you’ve genuinely earned it.
This guide is the proof. Read it. If it helps you, great. If you want help with the next step, the Get Unstuck call is here when you’re ready. If not, no hard feelings. Keep the guide. Forward it to a friend who needs it.
