Toledo, OH · Trades & SMBs

Fill your hardest roles in 30 days.
Flat fee. No fill, no fee.

Specialized recruiting for Toledo-area trades, construction, and SMBs — without the 15% salary commission.

The problem

Hiring shouldn't cost a quarter of the salary or three months of your time.

Roles open 60+ days

Productivity, overtime, and morale all bleed.

Recruiters charging 15–25% of salary

A $70k hire costs you $10k+ in fees.

Candidates ghosting after interview

No screening = no commitment.

We fix all three with flat-fee recruiting, rigorous pre-screening, and a 90-day replacement guarantee that keeps us accountable long after the start date.

How it works

Three steps. Thirty days. One flat fee.

STEP 1

Free 15-minute hiring audit

We identify why the role isn't filling — comp, posting, sourcing, or screen.

STEP 2

We source and pre-screen

You only see 3–5 qualified candidates, vetted for skill and intent.

STEP 3

You hire

Pay the flat fee on start date. 90-day replacement guarantee included.

Pricing

One flat fee per placement. Never a salary percentage.

Recruiting placement

$6,500flat per placement

Add-on for retainer clients. One role, full search, flat fee invoiced on start date, 90-day replacement guarantee. Never a salary percentage.

Recruiting is something we do for clients we already work with — it isn't a standalone service. The way in is the HR Audit ($2,950, one-time) or an HR retainer; placements plug in from there. Credited toward your first three months of any retainer.
