We find them

Ads with your pay in them run near your job or inside your service area. Working electricians take a free 60-second Pay Check to see if their license is worth more.

We check them on the call

An electrician calls each one, looks up the license with the state, and screens the work, the pay and the start date.

You interview

They land on your calendar, or your foreman's, with a one-page sheet, confirmed the night before. You make the call.

No black box. Here's the whole system.

Every step he goes through, start to finish. Names in the examples are made up.

The ad he sees

He's working somewhere else right now. Our ad shows him your pay and hours near your job, so the ones who click already like the number better than what they make.

FAQs

Why trust a new company?

Don't take our word for it. We're new, so here's the whole system, start to finish. And if you don't hire any of them, you get your money back.

Who pays the electrician?

You do. He's your employee from day one. No markup, no buyout.

How do I know he's really licensed?

We look up his license with the state while he's on the phone and send you the record with his candidate sheet.

Can he actually run service calls?

For service roles, an electrician screens him on the calls he's run on his own, and on how he talks to a homeowner. You see it on his sheet before you meet him.

Where do your electricians come from?

Most are working right now. They see an ad with the pay in it near your job, take the free Pay Check, and find out your shop pays more or runs steadier work than where they are. We don't run a job board.

What if he takes the job and doesn't show Monday?

We call him the night before his start and again at day 7, 30 and 60.

Are you going to recruit my guys?

No. We don't recruit out of our clients' crews.

Who runs drug tests and background checks?

You do, under your policy. We confirm up front that he'll take them.

Can you find foremen?

Yes. They're the hardest seat, so expect fewer of them.

Where do you work?

Anywhere in the US. We recruit near your job or inside your service area, and for travel roles, wherever the electricians are.

What if my pay is under the market?

We'll tell you on the call. On travel roles it won't fill. On local roles it sometimes will.

What does it cost?

We go over that on the Zoom, once we know your roles and whether we can fill them.

What happens on the Zoom?

30 minutes. We go over the roles, the pay range and the start date, show you how it would run for your shop, and tell you straight if we can fill it.

Apply. If it's a fit, pick a time.

Three quick taps and your contact info. If it's a fit, you'll see open times for a 30-minute Zoom: the roles, the pay range, the start date, and whether we can fill it.
