I did not have much time for hiring. I used to dread spending forever posting jobs on individual boards. Now I get it done in 30 minutes, which has been so helpful in finding great people.
Roderick S. · Kissimmee, FLI used to track candidates in a spreadsheet. It was always a disaster. I would lose important details and résumés and spend hours organizing them.
Ryan E. · Providence, RII love AvaHR. I have been using it for a while now, and when I create my Culture Profile I get a ton of applications.
Anthony J. · Columbus, OHNo more lost or mixed-up information. It is so efficient that I can spend more time interviewing, and I love that everyone at my company sees the same applicant information I do.

We run more than one trade. Can I keep them separate?
Yes. Each job has its own pipeline, its own screening questions and its own scorecard, so an HVAC install role and a plumbing service role do not share a funnel. Locations and departments keep the reporting separate too, while everything stays under one account and one bill.
How long does it take to get a technician posted?
Minutes. Start from a job description template, adjust the pay range and requirements, and publish. AvaHR formats the post the way each of the 100+ boards expects, including Indeed, ZipRecruiter and the trade and local boards technicians actually check.
Can I screen for a licence or certification before I call anyone?
Yes. Knockout questions auto-decline anyone missing a requirement you set, and custom questionnaires ask the rest up front: licence class and state, EPA 608 or applicator certification, years on service versus install, comfort working in a customer’s home, and whether they hold a clean driving record.
Do technicians need to create an account to apply?
No. Applying takes under three minutes on a phone with no login, and the résumé is parsed into skills, history and contact details automatically. That matters here, where most applications happen between calls from a truck.
Our busy season doubles the crew. Can we hire that fast?
Bulk actions and the candidate database are what make it possible. Advance or message a whole list at once, and pull from everyone who applied during last season rather than starting a new search when the phones start ringing.
