The process, plainly.
Same approach we use in every market — but tuned for what works in Tulsa's commercial roofing segment specifically:
- Same-day intake call. We get the role, the project context, the budget, your dealbreakers. For Tulsa roofing, we also confirm whether the work is airport-campus industrial scale, since that shifts the sourcing pool.
- Candidate sourcing within 48 hours. We pull from our existing Tulsa commercial roofing candidate network, filtered for verified large-footprint industrial experience where required.
- Vetted short list (week one). Three to five candidates. We verify real project-delivery history at the right scale rather than a line on a resume.
- Offer and close. Standard roles close in 3-5 weeks. We help with offer math against Tulsa's own wage table.
