Hiring Software Built by a Cleaning Business Owner

We run a residential cleaning company doing over $100K per month per location, and we hire our own cleaners with the system on this page. Post the job, let the machine text and screen every applicant, and walk into interviews that actually show up.

Sound Familiar?

Applicants Ghost Before You Even Call

A cleaner who applies at lunch has three other offers by dinner. If your first contact happens tomorrow, you were never in the running. Most cleaning owners are on jobs all day and do callbacks at night, which is exactly when applicants stop answering.

Job Boards Send You Everyone Except Cleaners

Post on a big board and you get a pile of people who never read the job. Sorting them takes hours you do not have, so the pile sits, and the two real cleaners in it take other jobs.

Interviews That Do Not Show

Booking interviews by phone tag produces no-shows. Without confirmations and reminders, half your scheduled interviews are empty chairs, and you rearranged a route for each one.

You Are the Whole HR Department

Between quality checks, quotes, and payroll, hiring gets whatever energy is left at 9pm. That is not a character flaw, it is a staffing problem, and it is fixable.

How Qualified Hires Works

1

Post Jobs That Attract Actual Cleaners

We write and publish job posts tuned for cleaning roles, on the boards that work, plus a branded careers page for your company. The posts screen out tire-kickers before they ever reach you.

2

Every Applicant Gets a Text in Minutes

The moment someone applies, the system texts them, asks the qualifying questions a cleaning owner would ask, and keeps the conversation moving. No applicant waits until tomorrow.

3

Interview-Ready Candidates on Your Calendar

Qualified candidates book straight into your open interview slots with confirmations and reminders. You meet people who already answered your screening questions and actually show up.

Why Owners Trust Us With Hiring

Qualified Hires was not built by a software company guessing at what hiring is like. It was built by the owner of Cascade Home Cleaning, a residential cleaning company doing over $100K per month per location. Our own crews come through the exact system on this page, every week.

That matters because cleaning hiring has traps that generic hiring tools do not understand. Residential clients want the same trusted face every visit. Turnover in the first 90 days is the industry's silent killer. In-home work makes vetting non-negotiable. We deal with all three in our own company, so the screening questions, the interview scripts, and the follow-up cadence in this system come from running crews, not from a product manager's whiteboard.

The single biggest reason good applicants slip away is a slow first response. Our system texts every applicant back within minutes, any hour of the day. Across our client companies, 4 out of 5 applicants get their first text within 10 minutes of applying. The numbers above come straight from our production database, not a marketing deck.

Common Questions

How fast will applicants hear from us?

Within minutes, around the clock. The system sends the first text as soon as the application lands, then runs the screening conversation from there. Across our client companies, 4 out of 5 applicants get a first touch within 10 minutes.

Does this work for residential and commercial cleaning?

Yes. The screening questions differ, and we tune them per role. Residential roles screen for reliability, trust, and comfort working in occupied homes. Commercial and janitorial roles screen for schedule fit, night availability, and team work.

What about background checks and trust for in-home work?

Screening surfaces red flags early, references get checked as part of the pipeline, and the interview scripts include the trust questions we use for our own residential crews. You make the final call on every hire.

Do I keep my existing job posts?

You can. Most owners let us rewrite and repost, because the posts are half the battle. Either way, every applicant from every source flows into the same pipeline and gets the same instant follow-up.

What does it cost compared to doing Indeed myself?

Indeed gets you applicants. It does not text them back in minutes, screen them, check references, or put them on your calendar. Owners who run hiring themselves spend hours per hire on that work. Plans and current pricing are on our pricing page, and the free discovery call will give you a straight answer for your size.

How bad is turnover in cleaning, really?

Industry turnover runs high enough that hiring is a permanent function, not a once-a-year scramble. We published the numbers, with sources, in our cleaning employee turnover statistics guide. The practical answer is to keep a pipeline warm at all times, which is exactly what this system does.
