It is the first heat wave of the summer in Wayne County. Calls are stacking up, your board is booked out for days, and you are turning away jobs you would love to run because every tech you have is already working late.
With technician recruiting running all year, you are not starting from zero when the season turns. We keep a steady pipeline of techs, apprentices and installers from trade schools, union and non-union networks, supply house counters and referrals, and we screen for skills, licenses and attitude before you ever meet them.
When the next rush hits, you have a bench. New techs ride along and get up to speed before peak season, your senior techs stop burning out, and the board stops deciding how much work you can take.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.
There is one roofer for about every 2,718 residents of Wayne County. The ones that grow are the ones that hire and keep good people.

Skilled trades are aging out faster than new people are coming in, and every shop in Wayne County is chasing the same small pool. Licensed techs rarely look at job boards because they get calls all the time. Recruiting means going where they are and giving them a real reason to move.
The fee depends on the role, the license level, how fast you need to fill it and whether you want ongoing recruiting. An apprentice or helper is easier to fill than a licensed lead with commercial experience. We quote per hire or a fixed monthly fee for a steady pipeline after a short call.
Many shops find their best long-term techs by hiring for attitude and training the skills. A clear apprentice path with ride-alongs, pay steps and license support attracts young people who want a career. It takes time, which is why it should run all year.
Pay matters, but so do a good truck, decent tools, a steady schedule, fair dispatch and a manager who backs them up. Clear pay plans and a path to lead tech or management keep people longer. Those things also belong in your job ad.
A resume does not tell you how someone handles a real job. A paid working interview or ride-along shows skills, communication and how they treat a customer. It is also how a good tech decides whether they want to work for you.
Easy, but most licensed techs never look and you get a pile of maybes.
Fills seats fast, but rarely knows the trades or screens for real skills.
We build a year-round pipeline of techs and apprentices, screen for skills and licenses and help them stick.
