For owners of home-service businesses

A Yellowstone Local Alternative Where You Own the Pipeline

Recruiting agencies rent you their reach. We build reach you keep — one $4,000 funnel build, 3 qualified candidates in 30 days or you don't pay.

Takes 45 seconds · No credit card

Yellowstone Local is a full-cycle recruiting agency for the skilled trades — sourcing, vetting, employer branding — with real volume behind it. If you want to hand hiring to an agency and let their team work their network, that's the category they compete in.

Here's the structural catch with any agency model, theirs included: the reach belongs to the agency. Candidates flow through their brand and their job board, the process runs on their side, and pricing is something you learn on a demo call rather than a page. The month you stop working together, the pipeline is still theirs — you keep the hires you made and nothing else.

We build the asset on your side of the fence instead. One flat $4,000, stated right here: a job ad engineered to out-position the other shops in your market, automated SMS screening that answers every applicant within minutes, 24/7, with TCPA consent built in, an interview pipeline with scorecards and no-show tracking, and ready-to-post ads for the boards and local channels where tradespeople actually look. Your careers page, your applicant database, your machine — permanently.

The guarantee is written and specific: three qualified candidates in your first 30 days, or you don't pay.

Agencies make sense when you never want to touch hiring again and don't mind paying for that indefinitely. If you'd rather own a system that recruits for you — this year, next year, every opening after — apply below. Forty-five seconds, then a 20-minute call mapping the exact build.

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.

Who pays for the ad spend?

You do, in your own accounts. Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Facebook, all of it stays under your login and your card. We set the ads up, hand you the copy, and tell you what to spend (most owners start around $10 a day on Facebook). We never take a cut or add a markup. When you are staffed up, you turn the ads down. When someone quits, you turn them back up.

I already have screening questions on Indeed. How is this different?

Board screeners are easy to click through, and people who answer no still land in your inbox. We move the serious ones off the board: an automatic message invites every applicant to finish their application on your own careers page, and only the real candidates make that jump. There they physically check the boxes on your dealbreakers, things like a drug test or a background check. Anyone who does not check them gets a polite no a day later, and you keep every name and phone number either way.

Is this just an add-on to Indeed?

Indeed casts a huge net. It brings volume, not fit. We build the sorting and the follow-up on top: your own careers page, screening that auto rejects on your deal breakers, and a text back to every applicant within minutes. When someone applies on your page, you own their name, email, and phone number. Not Indeed.

Are you a recruiter or a staffing agency?

No. Recruiters rent you candidates and keep the system. We build the hiring system inside your business one time. You see every applicant, you own every record, and you can run it yourself for as long as you want.

What if I only need one hire?

Then hire one. The funnel stays in your business after that. The next time someone quits, you turn it back on instead of starting from zero.
