Geotargeting Maintenance Technicians
The Challenge
VP Construction and Maintenance of new Residential Maintenance Company approached TalentWoo to hire certified HVAC maintenance technicians in 30+ cities across the U.S. The challenge was to start the company from scratch, and minimize drive time between properties by hiring technicians close to properties.
The Solution
We initiated the company launch with a pilot program in 9 key markets to define and validate performance. TalentWoo geotargeted EPA certified technicians by contacting local trade schools, targeting competitors, and focusing on candidates in specific zip codes. Once the initial pilot was proved out, we commenced recruiting in the remaining markets.
