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 hand you ready-to-post ads for 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.

Common questions

Is this another monthly recruiting subscription?

No. We build your hiring funnel once, you own it forever. No retainers, no per-hire fees, nothing to cancel.

What exactly do I get for the price?

Everything listed above, live and working: the job ad, the automated SMS screening, the custom interview process, and the ready-to-post ad copy for every channel. You keep the copy, the automation, and every applicant record.

How does the guarantee work?

3 qualified candidates in 30 days or you don't pay. The four conditions above are the whole fine print, and the terms go in writing before a dollar moves.

What counts as a "qualified candidate"?

Someone who passes the screening requirements we set together for your role — licensing, experience, availability. Not just an applicant; a person worth your interview slot.

Who runs the funnel after the build?

You do. It's your funnel — you own it and you drive it through your hiring process. The automation handles the busywork (answering applicants, screening, scheduling), but the machine is yours to run.

What happens after I apply?

If it looks like a fit, you book a 20-minute call and we map the exact funnel for your company. No pressure, no obligation.

How fast do I see candidates?

The system goes live within days of the build. Most owners see their first qualified applicants inside the first two weeks.
