Fixed‑fee recruitment for blue‑collar & trades
Hire better blue‑collar crews in 28 days, for a fixed fee per hire
We run social recruitment campaigns to reach off‑market workers across construction, all blue-collar industrys. You get vetted, shortlist‑ready candidates on your desk; we handle the rest.
Blue‑collar & trades we specialise in
If it’s hands‑on work and safety‑critical, there’s a good chance we’ve hired it.
01
Scope & hiring plan
We unpack your roles, locations, pay bands and timelines, then set targets for the next 28 days.
02
Social campaigns & talent sourcing
We run targeted social campaigns and tap our database to reach off‑market workers, not just job boards.
03
Screen, vet & shortlist
We phone‑screen, check tickets and record one‑way video interviews so you only see shortlist‑ready candidates.
04
You interview – we refill if it doesn’t stick
You pick who to hire. If they don’t make it through probation, we refill the role.

Know your cost upfront, no % of salary games.
