Recruiting and Hiring Support for Landscaping and Lawn Care Companies
You do not need one hire, you need a crew, and you need it by spring. We screen every applicant by text in minutes and keep your pipeline full through the whole season, including the replacements you know are coming.
Sound Familiar?
Spring Needs Five People, Not One
Crew hiring is volume hiring. Calling applicants one at a time does not scale to a spring ramp, and the season does not wait for you to catch up.
Churn Is Part of the Business
Some walk-offs are inevitable in crew work. The damage comes from having nobody behind them. A cold pipeline turns one quit into a lost week for the whole crew.
Crew Leads Are the Real Bottleneck
Laborers get you through the week. Leads let you add trucks. They are different hires with different screens, and most job posts do not even distinguish them.
How Qualified Hires Works
Volume Posts That Fill Crews
We publish posts built for crew roles across the boards that produce, with a branded careers page, and the pipeline handles dozens of applicants at once without you touching a phone.
Text Screening at Crew Scale
Every applicant gets a text in minutes. Screening covers availability, transportation, experience with your kind of work, and the reliability questions that predict who is still there in August.
An Always-On Bench
The pipeline stays warm all season, so a Tuesday walk-off means calling screened people Wednesday morning, not starting a job post from zero.
Why Owners Trust Us With Hiring
We run hiring for landscaping and tree care companies today, and crew-scale hiring is where automated screening earns its keep: the system holds fifty conversations at once and only the qualified ones reach you.
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
Can it handle hiring a whole crew at once?
Yes, that is the sweet spot. The screening runs in parallel across every applicant, so ramping five hires takes the same owner effort as one.
Do you support Spanish-speaking applicants?
Screening conversations can run bilingual, and your job posts can too. For many crews that doubles the qualified applicant pool overnight.
What about tree care and more skilled roles?
Skilled roles like climbers and crew leads get their own screening questions and interview scripts, separate from laborer roles, so the right people land in the right pipeline.
Is it worth running in the offseason?
A low-effort winter pipeline means your spring ramp starts from a warm bench instead of a cold job post. The owners who staff up easiest in April are the ones who never fully stopped.
Who actually sources, screens, and decides who gets hired?
The system posts the jobs, texts every applicant back in minutes, and runs the availability and reliability screening in that first conversation. Candidates who clear the screen get scheduled straight onto your calendar. You run the interview and make the final hiring decision, every time.
How is this different from a job board or a staffing agency?
A job board hands you applications and stops there. You still have to text people back, screen them, and chase down interview times yourself, which does not scale to crew hiring. A staffing agency does that work for you but typically charges a fee per hire, which adds up fast at crew volume. Qualified Hires runs the posting, the text screening, and the interview scheduling as one system.
What does it cost?
Managed recruiting is $3,000 a month plus ad costs, with a one-time $2,500 tech onboarding, and it runs month to month with no long-term contract. If you would rather own the system and run it yourself, we build your complete hiring funnel for a one-time $4,000 with no monthly fee. Both prices are published on our pricing page, so you know the number before you ever get on a call.
