T H E P R E S I D E N T F R O M Letter

The strength of our association has always been measured by more than the homes we build it's reflected in the lives we impact, the communities we serve, and the willingness of our members to step up when there is a need That spirit was on full display at our inaugural Foundation Golf Tournament this summer

Earlier this month, we hosted our inaugural Foundation Golf Tournament at Boulder Canyon, and what a success it was! The event brought together members, partners, sponsors, and supporters for a day filled with fun, networking, and friendly competition—all while raising funds for a cause that is making a meaningful impact in our community. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated, sponsored, volunteered, and helped make the event possible. The generosity of our members continues to demonstrate the power of our industry when we come together for a common purpose.

The funds raised through events like this allow the Foundation to invest in workforce development, scholarships, community improvement projects, and initiatives that strengthen the future of the building industry throughout the Black Hills region. Every dollar raised helps us continue creating opportunities and making a difference where it matters most.

Looking ahead, we are excited for our Fishing Tournament and the opportunity to bring members together once again in support of the Foundation These events not only help raise critical funds, but also showcase the strong sense of community that makes our association so special I continue to be inspired by the dedication of our members and the passion they bring to advancing the Foundation's mission Whether through volunteering, sponsorship, donations, or participation in our events, your support is helping us build something truly meaningful for future generations

If you have ever considered getting involved, now is the perfect time We are always looking for individuals who want to help us grow our impact and expand the work we do throughout the community. I encourage you to reach out and learn more about how you can be a part of the Foundation's efforts. Thank you for your continued support, commitment, and belief in the work we are doing together. We are proud of what we've accomplished so far and even more excited about what lies ahead.

Sincerely, President, 2026

HIRING HAS ALWAYS BEEN BROKEN.

PLENTY OF HIRES IS DOING

Ask any contractor in the Black Hills how hiring is going and you already know the answer. You post a job, you wait, you sort through a stack of applications from people who either don't show up or don't fit, and a few months later you find yourself doing the whole thing over again. It's exhausting, it's expensive, and somewhere along the way most people just accepted that this is simply how hiring works Corinne Perkins spent years watching that cycle play out from inside the staffing and recruiting industry, and she never once accepted it as the way things had to be

"I've always known hiring was broken," she says. "It wasn’t until 2021 I figured out a way to fix it."

A Black Hills Girl Who Took the Long Way Home.

Corinne grew up in the Black Hills and graduated from Black Hills State University before setting out to build something of her own. She owned and operated a direct marketing firm with locations in Colorado Springs and Anchorage, Alaska, and while neither location survived, she will tell you the lessons those failures left her with were worth more than any early success could have been That hard-won education shaped everything she has built since

When she came back to the Black Hills, she found her way into staffing and recruiting, spending nearly five years at Adecco That chapter confirmed something she

had always believed: placing the right person in the right job is not just a transaction. It genuinely changes lives. "When you make that ultimate long-term connection between a candidate and an employer, it changes things for both of them," she says. "When people are doing work they're actually built for, it's hard to call it work. That's what drives me in this there is more to a person than what a piece of paper and a quick interview can say "

In 2020, COVID shut the hiring world down and Adecco closed its local branch Corinne transitioned into digital marketing at Dot Marketing, which brought her into a close working relationship with the Black Hills Home Builders Association, where she was named Affiliate of the Year in 2024 But

the idea she had been sitting with since 2021 never stopped pulling at her For a long time, self-doubt kept her from taking the leap At a certain point she found herself praying hard on it, asking that if this was truly what she was supposed to do, God would open the doors Shortly after, she was introduced to Wildfire Labs, a software acceleration program in Rapid City From that moment, the idea that had lived only in her head started becoming something real "They made me realize this could actually happen," she says "And from there, there has just been this drive that I can make this happen, and I'm not stopping " In 2024 she left Dot Marketing to build Plenty of Hires full time, and in 2025 came on part time as the association's Workforce Development Coordinator, staying close to the contractors whose hiring pain has shaped the platform from the beginning.

So, How Does It Actually Work?

Plenty of Hires is not a job board, and it is not a recruiting agency. It is an online hiring platform that matches candidates and employers based on eight categories of fit, including skills, work environment, culture and values, availability,

certifications, and behavioral alignment, so that by the time an employer is looking at a candidate, the prescreen has already been done They only see candidate matches

Instead of writing a job description and posting it somewhere to wait and hope, employers complete an assessment for the role they are looking to fill and receive matches rather than applications They click a connect button and they are on the phone or sending a direct email within minutes to someone already evaluated across eight categories of fit

No applicant pile, no hours spent reading resumes that tell you almost nothing about whether someone has the same goals and fit your team

"You only see candidates who match with your job across eight different areas," Corinne explains. "No job descriptions, no applicant pile-up. You get matches, you connect, and you get moving."

Candidates complete a one-time assessment and are automatically matched to every role they qualify for, including new ones as additional employers join. For workers who are employed but quietly open to something better, Incognito Mode

Matching People. Not Resumes.

A year and a half of conversations with employers and candidates taught me one thing — both sides are done with the way hiring works right now. It is reactive, it is slow, and nobody wins. And the thing that surprised me most? Candidates want stability more than anything, even more than pay. Employers want the exact same thing. They just had no good way to find each other.

keeps their identity protected until they choose to connect on their own terms.

Plenty of Hires is also built to serve the way construction actually works Not every business operates on W-2 employees alone, and not every tradesperson is looking for a staff position The platform is designed to connect subcontractors with the right companies as well, because good work is good work regardless of how someone is classified

Corinne is the first to tell you the platform is still a work in progress. The beta is young, the algorithm is still being refined, and user feedback is shaping every update. No-shows have happened, but anyone who has hired in construction knows that is not unique to any platform or any hiring process. "We are not perfect yet, and we own that," she says "But through the support of our early users we are focused on capturing the right candidates and learning lessons every day, if not every hour Every piece of feedback makes the matches better and that work does not stop " What she can promise is that employers are never left starting over "Even if someone doesn't show up on day one, with us you always have a growing pipeline of strong-fit candidates ready to go. Our goal is quality, over quantity."

Built Here. Tested Here.

Plenty of Hires spent the summer of 2025 piloting with local

employers and candidates, using their feedback to sharpen the matching algorithm before moving into a full build. The beta launched in February 2026 and has since facilitated more than 25 hires throughout the Black Hills, with employers reporting they found good candidates faster than anything they had tried before

JP Walters of Wood Builders, described what made the experience different: "We've used other hiring platforms, and as AI has taken over it's gotten really hard to know if what you're receiving is actually from the candidate or just something AI wrote for them. What I really like about Plenty of Hires is that their process gets to the bottom of how candidates actually feel are they going to show up on time, are they going to be a good culture fit? We want people who are not only experienced but are actually the right fit for our company "

Spencer Hattervig of Zeisler Construction, also a member, reported a successful hire within the first two days and described the process as seamless

Plenty of Hires has been supported by organizations that understand what it takes to build something meaningful here The Black Hills Home Builders Association has been part of this journey from the beginning, with members giving over a year and a half of their time through interviews and beta testing that shaped the platform into what it is today. Wildfire Labs has provided

For employers tired of sorting through the wrong people, and for tradespeople ready to be found based on more than a resume, the door is open. Visit plentyofhires.com or email hello@plentyofhires.com to get started.

product development support and mentorship since 2024, and Elevate Rapid City has invested through grants and financial support backing the vision of a hiring solution built specifically for this community This platform was not built in a boardroom and dropped into the Black Hills It was built here, by the people who live and work here

What Comes Next.

Plenty of Hires is focused on building depth in the Black Hills but has goals of expanding across South Dakota and into neighboring states over the next few years. Corinne will continue to sit on the BHHBA Workforce Committee, and the construction industry remains where the platform is most deeply rooted. The problem it was built to solve exists anywhere good people are trying to find good work and good employers are trying to build strong teams

"Without good people, businesses can't grow Without good jobs, people can't flourish I spent a year and a half listening to both sides say the same thing in different ways, and that is what it always came back to That's exactly why this needed to exist, and why I am not stopping until we get it right"

THE POWER OF DOING BUSINESS WITH A MEMBER! Membership

Dear Members,

One of the greatest strengths of the Black Hills Home Builders Association has never been our events, our programs, or even our impressive membership numbers. It has always been our people. For decades, BHHBA members have understood a simple but powerful principle: when possible, do business with a member.

Every time a builder hires a member subcontractor, a supplier recommends a member contractor, or a homeowner chooses a member business, we strengthen our local industry. We create opportunities for our members to grow, keep dollars circulating within our communities, and build relationships that last far beyond a single project.

The Black Hills construction industry is unique because it is built on trust. Membership in BHHBA is more than a business transaction. It is a commitment to professionalism, involvement, and supporting the future of our industry. When you choose to work with a fellow member, you are choosing a company that has invested in the success of our local building community.

One of the easiest ways to support fellow members is by utilizing the BHHBA Membership Directory. Whether you are looking for a trade partner, supplier, service provider, or professional resource, the directory serves as a valuable tool for finding businesses that have chosen to invest in our association and our industry.

Of course, the directory only works if members can find you. That is why we encourage members to take advantage of the Advanced Directory Listing opportunity. For just $50 per year, your business receives enhanced visibility within the directory, helping potential customers, fellow members, and industry partners find your company more easily. It is one of the most affordable marketing opportunities available through the Association and a simple way to increase exposure year round. Upgrading is easy. Simply log in to your Member Portal to purchase an Advanced Directory Listing, or contact the BHHBA office and we'll be happy to assist you.

As our membership continues to grow, so does the importance of making meaningful connections. The more we support one another, the stronger our businesses become and the stronger our industry remains.

The next time you need a product, service, contractor, supplier, or industry partner, start with the BHHBA Membership Directory. You may discover a fellow member who is ready to help, and in the process, you'll be strengthening the network that supports all of us.

Together, we are building more than homes. We are building relationships, opportunities, and a stronger future for the Black Hills.

Tour stunning homes showcasing the latest trends, quality craftsmanship, and innovative layouts Meet local builders, explore new neighborhoods, and gather inspiration, whether you’re house hunting, planning a build, or simply love great design.

PROGRESSIVE RAFFLE

As I write this month's update, I have just returned from the National Association of Home Builders Spring Leadership Meetings in Washington, D.C., where I had the opportunity to represent the Black Hills Home Builders Association and our members on the National level.

One of the highlights of the trip was meeting directly with members of South Dakota's congressional delegation, including Senator John Thune, Senator Mike Rounds, and Congressman Dusty Johnson. These conversations are an important opportunity to share the real-world challenges facing builders, developers, trade contractors, and housing professionals in our communities. Housing affordability remains one of the most pressing issues facing our industry. During our meetings, we discussed the need for policies that increase housing supply, reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens, and expand opportunities for homeownership. We also talked about the importance of workforce development and ensuring that future generations have pathways into the skilled trades that keep our industry moving forward.

Advocacy remains one of the most valuable benefits of membership in our association. Whether we are working with local municipalities, state legislators, or our federal representatives, your association is committed to ensuring the voice of the building industry is heard at every level.

Back here at home, our association continues to stay busy. Our committees, volunteers, and members are driving initiatives that strengthen our industry and support our communities. I am continually inspired by the passion and engagement of our membership.

Thank you for your continued support of the Black Hills Home Builders Association. Whether you participate in events, serve on a committee, advocate for our industry, sponsor a program, or simply stay engaged, your involvement makes our association stronger.

Together, we are building more than homes we are building stronger communities and a stronger future for our industry.

Sincerely,

DURABLE. BEAUTIFUL. coated TO LAST.

More than Housing
