What Happens: Your jobs go live across multiple channels while we simultaneously begin proactive outreach to qualified candidates. This is where our blue collar specialization really matters.

Our Multi-Channel Approach:

Job Board Posting: We post to industry-specific job boards where blue collar workers actually look—not just Indeed and LinkedIn. This includes:

✔ Trades-specific job boards

✔ Local employment sites

✔ Industry association job boards

✔ We use JazzHR as our ATS at no additional cost to you - it distributes your jobs to up to 18 of the top job boards automatically

✔ Targeted paid advertising on Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, and other industry-leading platforms based on your specific role needs

Proactive Sourcing: We don't wait for applications. We actively search for and reach out to:

✔ Passive Candidates: Employed workers who aren't actively looking but might be interested in the right opportunity

✔ Trade School & Apprenticeship Programs: Recent graduates and completers

✔ Industry Networks: Professional associations, licensing boards, certification programs

✔ Referral Networks: Connections from past placements and industry contacts

Social Media & Targeted Advertising: Where appropriate, we use targeted social media outreach to reach blue collar workers in your market

Your Involvement:

✔ Minimal—we handle all posting and sourcing

✔ Optional: Introduce us to your network or referral sources

Deliverables:

✔ Jobs live on relevant boards

✔ Active sourcing campaigns in your market

✔ Weekly pipeline updates showing sourcing activity

Timeline: Jobs are posted within 12 business hours of your approval. We also begin active candidate sourcing through direct outreach and strategic advertising immediately after posting.

What Happens: As applications and sourced candidates come in, we screen every person against your requirements before anyone reaches your inbox. This is where we reduce time to hire by filtering out unqualified candidates early.

Our Screening Process:

Resume Review: We review every resume for:

✔ Required technical qualifications

✔ Relevant experience and tenure

✔ Red flags (job hopping, employment gaps, etc.)

✔ Geographic fit and commute feasibility

Initial Phone Screen: (15-30 minutes depending on role complexity) For candidates who pass resume review, we conduct phone screens to assess:

✔ Technical Competency: Can they actually do the job? We ask role-specific questions that verify hands-on experience

✔ Work History Verification: We dig into reasons for leaving past jobs and employment gaps

✔ Compensation Expectations: Are they aligned with your budget?

✔ Availability & Timeline: When can they start? Are there scheduling constraints?

✔ Communication Skills: Can they interact professionally with customers?

In-Home Sales Assessment: (for sales roles) For in-home sales positions, we specifically assess:

✔ Experience selling in customers' homes (not showroom or phone sales)

✔ Comfort with consultative sales process

✔ Track record of closing rates and deal sizes

✔ References who can speak to their in-home sales ability

Reference Checks: For top candidates, we conduct thorough reference checks:

✔ Verify employment dates and titles

✔ Confirm technical skills and performance

✔ Ask about reliability, attitude, and teamwork

✔ Explore why they left or are leaving

Background & Licensing Verification We verify:

✔ Required licenses and certifications are current

✔ Note: Background checks are handled by you according to your company policies. Background check services can be added to our scope upon request.

Your Involvement:

✔ Minimal—we handle all screening

✔ Review screening notes with candidate presentations

Deliverables:
