Recruiting system for your business

Good fitters and tradespeople aren't looking – they're being sought. Whoever's moving decides in ten minutes on their phone whether an application is worth it. A job ad with "motivated team" and a compulsory cover letter loses those ten minutes every time.

Recruiting system

01Recruiting system

The recruiting system builds the applicant path this job market demands: an honest careers page that answers what applicants really want to know – salary range, the away-work model and travel radius, which tools are provided, who's on the team, what happens after applying. Plus an applicant FAQ for everything no one dares to ask on the phone, and an application that takes two minutes from a phone – from the scaffold, on a lunch break. Every application reaches you as a sorted short profile; for trainees there's a taster week instead of an application folder. That's how "we can't find people" becomes a path that finds the right ones.

Straight up: no AI decides on fit – the pre-qualification sorts and prepares, people do the rejecting. Applicant data is sensitive: consent, deletion periods and access are settled at the start of the project. And the page doesn't turn a difficult employer into an attractive one – what's on the careers page has to be true in the business.

02Demo

simulation · fictional carpentry

You're on the careers page of the fictional “Brandl Carpentry” – and you've already read there what nobody else writes down: four-day site work, salary ranges, who's on the team, what happens after you apply. This page convinced you. Now the last step of the path: two questions instead of a cover letter. At the end you see both sides – yours as an applicant and the business's.

03How it works

  1. 01

    Settle the roles and ideal applicant

    Who are you really looking for – a tradesperson, a foreman, a trainee? And what makes the role attractive to exactly that person? Not "varied tasks", but concrete: travel radius, away-work model, tools, four-day week.

  2. 02

    Work out the business story

    What's actually different at your place? It's rarely in the ad – it's in the day-to-day: how sites are planned, who drives which vehicle, how overtime is handled. That's made visible, authentic rather than polished.

  3. 03

    Build the careers page and applicant FAQ

    A page that answers the real questions: salary range, travel allowance, hours, what happens after applying. Whoever reads here knows whether they want to apply – that saves both sides time.

  4. 04

    Simplify the application radically

    Two minutes from a phone: a few targeted questions instead of a compulsory cover letter and CV. Every application reaches you as a structured short profile – for leadership roles there's a direct line to the boss.

  5. 05

    Make it visible and keep at it

    Optionally the path is fed with content: real site insight for social media and the website – the material comes together in the day-to-day. And the numbers show which route brings applicants.

04Stages

The entry point is pure website work – effective before any system is added.

Tier 1

Entry: the honest careers page

A recruiting landing page with business story, salary ranges and applicant FAQ – answering what tradespeople and trainees really want to know.

Tier 2

Extended: the applicant path

A pre-qualification flow with an internal short profile – the two-minute application from a phone, including a clean consent concept.

Tier 3

Full build: system + content

Recruiting content from the site day-to-day plus handover to your system – recruiting becomes continuous rather than an emergency measure when someone quits.

05Technical implementation

  • The careers page is built in the existing website stack – as a landing page or its own section.
  • The applicant flow is a guided form or chat wizard with structured questions and consent – built mobile first.
  • AI helps in the background: it co-writes the applicant FAQ, condenses answers into the internal short profile – it rejects no one.
  • Handover to suit the size: email to the boss, Airtable or a protected dashboard.
  • Applicant data is stored separately, with deletion periods and limited access – the concept is in place before the first applicant.
  • Optional: an idea-board connection for ongoing recruiting content from the day-to-day.

for context · This shows how something like this usually gets built – not how it has to be built for you. What actually fits is worked out in the project: around your existing setup, your team, and what stays easy to maintain.
