How we actually find your next hire.
End-to-end recruitment that takes the load off your team — sourcing, screening, submitting, scheduling, and closing. A six-step process built around the 90% of candidates who never apply.
Recruiting is harder than it looks.
The average commercial-trades placement takes 18+ hours of focused labor and runs through this funnel. Most internal teams can't carry that on top of running the business — and most recruiters won't.
Numbers above are a sample placement — actual results vary by role, region, and credential level.
Six steps from open seat to start date.
Same six steps for every role. Different inputs depending on the trade, the seniority, and the local market — but the rhythm doesn't change.
Promoting
We define the role, format and distribute the job posting across the right platforms, and align with you on the interview questions you want asked.
- Define job description & qualifications
- Create, edit, and format the job posting for every major platform
- Distribute the listing to multiple sites
- Co-define the interview questions with you
Sourcing
We go after the 90% of qualified candidates who never apply. Boolean searches, resume database mining, direct outreach.
- Build Boolean search terms from your role criteria
- Hand-select qualified candidates from resume databases
- Unlock contact info through our Loxo ATS
- Direct outreach + automated drip sequences
Screening
Every candidate we submit has cleared a real phone screen — relevant experience, pay range, motivation, timeline.
- Coordinate and conduct phone screens
- Verify relevant experience against the role
- Address job gaps and short tenure proactively
- Confirm desired pay rate, motivation, and timeline
Submitting
You get interview-ready candidates via email and in your customer portal — never just a resume to figure out.
- Transcribe phone-screen notes and candidate requirements
- Upload resume, expected compensation, reason for leaving, start timeline
- Input the candidate into your customer portal
- Adjust the search based on your feedback
Interview & Nurture
We schedule the interviews, collect feedback after each round, and keep the candidate warm so they don't drop off.
- Coordinate availability between candidate and client
- Schedule and confirm every interview
- Collect feedback from both sides after each round
- Stay in touch with the candidate to reduce drop-off
- Flag competing offers and hurdles in real time
Offering & Hiring
We help benchmark the offer, step in to extend it if you want, and coordinate background, drug, and reference checks through start date.
- Review the offer with the candidate alongside you
- Benchmark competitiveness against market data
- Extend the offer on your behalf if requested
- Schedule drug screen and motor-vehicle check
- Run background and reference checks
- Confirm the start date
Four ways to hire. One that scales.
The four models most contractors weigh — and the pain points each one creates. Honest summary of what each option costs and what tends to go wrong.
Internal team spread too thin; business leader wearing the recruiter hat; over-reliance on job postings
Large placement fees; huge P&L spikes per hire; boutique recruiters disappear; the candidate is the customer
Employee works for the recruitment firm; hourly mark-ups eat profit margin; buy-outs up to 80% of salary
Predictable flat-rate monthly fee; pipeline built before you need it; we work for you, not the candidate
