Turner Mining Group :
• The company acts as a contracting partner in the mining industry .
• When hired , it is responsible for bringing the necessary equipment and workforce to execute a project .
Keaton challenges this perception , suggesting the issue is not a shortage of workers , but rather the industry ’ s inability to capture the right attention . Turner Mining Group , however , does not face this issue due to its marketing and social media efforts .
• It bears the risks associated with production , equipment , and personnel .
Turner Staffing Group :
• The company has an effective brand and strategy that attracts a large number of potential employees to the mining industry .
• Last year Turning Mining Group realised they had a pool of 3,000 potential employees (“ sitting on the bench ”) but couldn ’ t accommodate all of them in their own operations .
• Despite this vast pool , many companies in the US claim there is a labour shortage in the industry .
• Seeing the need in the industry and their excess potential workforce , they began offering staffing services .
• Their staffing pool consists of a variety of skilled workers ranging from blue-collar roles like haul truck drivers and operators to white-collar roles like geologists and IT professionals .
• Turner Staffing Group also offers direct placement services , helping other companies find specific roles they couldn ’ t fill themselves .
