RECRUITING MARKETING FOR TRADES BUSINESSESMore Qualified Applicants for Your Trades Business
The Foundry helps HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies fix the marketing side of hiring with better recruiting ads, careers pages, employer messaging, and applicant follow-up systems.
Not recruiting. Not staffing. The marketing side of hiring.
Most Trades Companies Are Trying to Hire With a Weak Funnel
Too many trades businesses rely on generic job posts, weak careers pages, poor hiring messaging, and inconsistent follow-up. The result is fewer qualified applicants, more drop-off, and more pressure on the business.
Too Few Applicants
You need more qualified people entering the funnel in the first place.
No Real Hiring Funnel
Attention is not being turned into completed applications efficiently.
Low-Quality Applicants
Generic job-posting usually attracts generic response.
Too Much Job-Board Dependence
If Indeed is doing all the work, you don’t own the system.
Weak Careers Page
Candidates don’t see a clear reason to choose your company.
Slow or Inconsistent Follow-Up
Good applicants are often lost after they raise their hand.
