Sound Familiar?

Every Contractor Is Short on Electricians

The licensed pool is small and aging, and everyone is fishing in it. When a journeyman surfaces, response speed decides who gets the interview, and most shops respond in days.

License Levels Change Everything

What a journeyman can do, an apprentice legally cannot. A pipeline that does not sort by license level up front wastes your interviews and risks your compliance.

The Apprentice Pipeline Is the Long Game

If you only hire licensed, you are bidding against everyone for the same few people. Growing apprentices works, but only if you can screen for who is worth four years of training.

How Qualified Hires Works

1

Posts That Speak the Trade

We write electrical-specific posts, split by license level, published where trade candidates look, with a branded careers page that positions your shop against the big outfits.

2

License-First Text Screening

Every applicant gets a text in minutes. License level, years in the trade, and the kind of work they have run all get answered before your calendar is involved.

3

Show-Up Interviews

Screened candidates book into slots you control, with confirmations and reminders, so interview time goes to electricians and serious apprentices, not no-shows.

Why Owners Trust Us With Hiring

We run hiring for electrical contractors today. The screening flow sorts by license level from the first message, and the interview scripts ask the questions that separate real field experience from a good story.

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.

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.

Common Questions

Does it verify licenses?

Screening captures license level and number up front and flags mismatches early. Final verification stays in your hands before the offer, with the paperwork already collected.

Can we run journeyman and apprentice pipelines at once?

Yes, as separate roles with separate screening, so each applicant lands in the right conversation and your interviews stay focused.

How do we compete with union shops and big contractors?

Speed and presentation. This system answers first, every time, and a clean careers page with straight talk about pay and growth does real work for an independent shop.

What predicts a good apprentice?

Reliability signals, mechanical aptitude, and evidence they want a career rather than a job. Those are exactly what the apprentice screening questions target, so you invest training in people who stay.
