Hiring Software for Painting Companies
Anyone can hold a brush, which is exactly the problem. Our system screens for the painters who cut a clean line and show up Monday, and books them onto your calendar before the season swallows you.
Sound Familiar?
Everyone Says They Can Paint
Painting attracts applicants with no trade background, so the pile is deep and the talent is thin. Sorting spray experience from wishful thinking by phone takes hours per hire.
Crew Churn Eats Your Season
Painting crews turn over, and a two-man crew losing one man loses half its production. Without a warm bench, every quit costs you booked jobs.
Subs or Employees, You Still Have to Find Them
Whether you run W2 crews, subcontractors, or both, the finding and vetting problem is the same, and it lands on the owner in both models.
How Qualified Hires Works
Posts That Attract Real Painters
We write posts that lead with what painters care about and screen out the tire-kickers in the first read, published across the boards plus your own branded careers page.
Experience Screening by Text
Every applicant gets a text in minutes. The conversation covers interior versus exterior, spray and finish experience, transportation, and availability before anyone reaches you.
A Bench That Outlasts the Season
The pipeline stays warm, so replacing a painter mid-season means calling screened people the same week instead of losing jobs to a cold job post.
Why Owners Trust Us With Hiring
We run hiring for painting companies today. The screening is built to sort real production painters from the deep pile of hopefuls that painting posts always attract.
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 screen spray experience and finish work?
Yes. The screening asks specifically about spray rigs, finish carpentry adjacency, interior versus exterior, and production pace, so the interview pool is painters, not applicants.
We use subcontractors. Does this still apply?
Yes. The pipeline works for sub recruitment too: same finding, same vetting, different paperwork. Several of the screening questions flip to crew capacity and insurance instead of W2 logistics.
Do you support bilingual hiring?
Screening and posts can run bilingual, which for painting crews often doubles the qualified pool in one move.
How fast can we scale for the busy season?
The screening runs in parallel across every applicant, so a spring ramp of several painters takes the same owner effort as one hire. Starting the pipeline before the season is the cheat code.
