What hr & onboarding systems for trades contractors means for a trades business.
HR and onboarding infrastructure for a trades business covers everything from how you find candidates to how you get them productive in the field. It includes your hiring process and where you post, how you screen, how you make offers, and how you bring new hires into the operation with documentation that protects the business and a structure that actually gets them producing. We serve HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing contractors across the Pacific Northwest.
The typical trades business hiring process is whoever the owner knows or whoever answered the ad, followed by a week of riding along with a senior tech, followed by solo deployment and hoping for the best. That process produces inconsistent results and high turnover. A documented system produces better hires and keeps them longer.
