Qualified Hires builds text-first hiring funnels for field-workforce companies. Speed-to-contact is the whole game in trade hiring — our builds answer every applicant by SMS within minutes, around the clock.
Our guarantee
3 qualified candidates in 30 days or you don't pay.
Team Engine got one thing very right: field workers answer texts, not emails. Texting-first hiring is the correct architecture for trades — we'd tell you that even if you never talked to us.
The question is whether that architecture should cost you a subscription forever.
Our build gives you the same core motion — instant SMS response to every applicant, automated screening questions, interview scheduling by text — wired into a funnel you own outright. We write the job ad, set up the compliance side properly (SMS recruiting has real consent rules; getting them wrong is expensive), build the interview pipeline with scorecards and no-show tracking, and put your posting everywhere your candidates look, including the local channels national platforms skip.
Flat $4,000, once. No per-seat pricing, no annual contract renewal, no export fees if you ever want your data — it's already yours.
Every build carries the same written guarantee: three qualified candidates in 30 days, or you don't pay.
The application below takes 45 seconds. If it looks like a fit, you'll book a 20-minute call and see the exact funnel we'd build — your trade, your market, your open roles.
