Finding and keeping good tradespeople is one of the hardest parts of running a contracting business. AI doesn't find candidates — but it handles every piece of writing that makes the difference between attracting the right people and getting ghosted.
The Job Post That Attracts the Right Candidates
Most contractor job posts are vague and generic. The best ones are specific about the work, direct about expectations, and honest about what makes your shop different.
"Write a job posting for an experienced [ROLE] at my [TRADE] company in [CITY]. Requirements: [SKILLS/CERTIFICATIONS]. Pay: $[RANGE]/hr. Benefits: [LIST]. Our shop: [DESCRIBE YOUR CULTURE — e.g., 'small crew, clean job sites, direct communication']. Keep it direct and appealing to someone who takes pride in their work — not corporate language."
Phone Screening Questions
"Write 5 screening questions for a [ROLE] candidate. I want to understand: their trade experience, how they handle problems on job sites, how they interact with customers, and their reliability. Practical questions — not HR-speak."
Offer Letter
"Write a professional offer letter for [NAME] for the [ROLE] position. Start date: [DATE]. Pay: $[AMOUNT]/hr. Key terms: [PROBATION PERIOD, TOOLS PROVIDED, VEHICLE POLICY]. Small business tone — warm but clear."
Onboarding Checklist
"Create a practical first-week onboarding checklist for a new [ROLE] at a [TRADE] company. Cover: paperwork to complete, equipment to issue, safety orientation, key policies, and what success looks like in the first 30 days."
