A step-by-step hiring process built for skilled trades and high-demand environments
• 15+ year proprietary database that has matured with our applicants (apprentices to licensed and senior talent).
• Access to passive trades professionals who are not visible on typical resume boards or LinkedIn searches.
• Performance-based recall: prior site feedback, reliability patterns, certifications, and role fit history where available.
• Enterprise-grade recruiting infrastructure and compliance support that reduces administrative burden and hiring risk.
Step 1
Discovery and role blueprint
• Intake with operations + HR to define scope, shift realities, safety expectations, and success at 30/60/90 days.
• Clarify must-have skills vs. trainable skills, site conditions, and deal-breakers.
• Agree on timeline, interview plan, and offer parameters to avoid delays.
Step 2
Network activation
• Search and re-engage proven talent from our proprietary database first.
• Activate referral paths within our existing trades network (people trust people, not job ads).
• Prioritize candidates with demonstrated progression and stability over time when available.
Step 3
Targeted market search
• Direct outreach to passive candidates using trade-specific communities and relationship-based prospecting.
• Targeted campaigns across select platforms where relevant (not "spray and pray" posting).
• Ongoing talent mapping to identify adjacent skill sets that convert quickly (e.g., similar equipment, similar environments).
Step 4
Verification & screening
• Credential and certification checks (licenses, tickets, safety training, etc.).
• Structured technical screening aligned to your role blueprint.
• Culture and reliability screening to reduce early attrition (attendance, shift fit, attitude, commute tolerance).
• Reference checks when appropriate.
Step 5
Shortlist & presentation
• Send a ranked shortlist, not a pile of resumes.
• Provide clear fit notes: skills match, environment match, compensation alignment, and risk flags.
• Align on interview questions that test the real job, not generic interview theater.
Step 6
Interview, closing, & start coordination
• Coordinate interviews, prep candidates, and keep momentum so top talent does not get scooped.
• Support offer strategy with market reality and acceptance coaching.
• Confirm start details, site expectations, PPE, and onboarding logistics.
Step 7
Post-hire
• Structured check-ins to confirm performance, attendance, and fit.
• Rapid adjustment if issues appear early (coaching, schedule tweaks, replacement planning if needed).
• Continuous feedback loop so each hire makes the next search faster and more precise
